In a monumental announcement that will send ripples of excitement through Super League, Hull KR's electrifying half-back, Mikey Lewis, has officially committed his long-term future to the Robins, signing a new contract that will see him remain at Craven Park until the end of the 2030 season. This landmark deal decisively puts an end to months of intense speculation linking the prodigious talent with a lucrative move to Australia's National Rugby League (NRL).

The 22-year-old local hero has been the subject of widespread interest following a spectacular rise through the ranks, culminating in an England international debut and a place in the 2023 Super League Dream Team.

His decision to pledge his allegiance to Hull KR for the next six years is a massive statement of intent from both the player and the club, signaling their shared ambition for sustained success.

Expressing his delight, Lewis shared, "I’m over the moon to get it over the line. I’ve been here since I was 16, so it means a lot to me to play for this club.

It was a massive decision, but I feel like I made the right one. This club is going in the right direction, and I want to be a part of it and bring some silverware here. Hopefully, this is the place I can kick on and get to my full potential." He further emphasized his loyalty, stating, "This club is everything to me, it's my local club, and I love playing here."

Head coach Willie Peters couldn't hide his excitement about securing one of the sport's brightest stars.

"It’s fantastic news for the club and for Mikey. He’s a big part of what we’re building here," Peters commented. "His growth over the last 12-18 months has been significant, and we believe his best football is still ahead of him. To keep him long-term is a major boost, and it shows the belief he has in our direction and the environment we’re creating."

Paul Lakin, Hull KR’s Chief Executive, echoed the sentiment, highlighting the strategic importance of the signing.

"This is a statement signing for the club. Mikey is not just a gifted player but a true Robin, and his commitment underscores our vision for the future," Lakin said. "We’re building a squad capable of challenging at the top, and retaining players of Mikey’s caliber is fundamental to that ambition.

It sends a clear message about where Hull KR is heading."

Lewis's journey has been nothing short of meteoric. From his breakthrough season, which saw him dazzle with his quick footwork and incisive attacking play, to becoming a pivotal figure in Hull KR’s Challenge Cup final appearance and a key member of Shaun Wane's England squad, he has consistently showcased his immense talent.

His new deal means fans can look forward to many more years of his thrilling performances at Craven Park, as the Robins aim to turn their promising trajectory into tangible success.
