Former St Helens youngster Jumah Sambou returns to Super League with three-year Hull KR deal

Hull KR have signed Jumah Sambou on a three-year deal from Oldham.

Sambou will link up with the Robins from the start of the 2026 Super League season.

The Warrington-born centre came through St Helens’ academy and was part of their side which toured Australia in 2019.

Speaking on his move to Sewell Group Craven Park, Sambou said: “It’s a big opportunity for me.

“I’m excited to be joining the Robins. Having spoke to Willie (Peters, Hull KR head coach), I like the direction the club is going in and I want to be part of it.

“Oldham has made me grow a lot as a player and a person. I’m grateful for the club and the town’s support. I plan to end the year on a high there.

“Next year will be a big step forward and I’m excited for the chance to prove myself at Hull KR.”

Peters welcomed the signing of the young centre: “We’re pleased to have Jumah join the club next season.

“Jumah was a talented junior who unfortunately had an ACL injury that set back his development.

“Since then, Jumah has gained some good experience at Oldham where he’s been one of the stand-out centres in the Championship and he will add quality competition to our outside backs in 2026.”
