HULL KR have raided rivals Hull FC for two more of their young players.
Rio Kassim, an 18-year-old centre or backrower, has signed a three-year contract with the Robins.
Nineteen-year-old winger Elliot Middlemas, whose younger brother Theo is already on Hull KR’s books and made a first-team appearance in September, has signed for one season.
Neither of the new recruits has yet played senior rugby but the club said: “Both players will add options and depth for the Robins going into next year, providing competition for places in the senior and Reserve sides.”
In the past year fellow Hull FC prospects Jack Charles, Cobie Wainhouse and Ryan Westerman have all swapped the west of the city for the east.
