Adam Walker charged by police

Correspondent

Hull KR prop Adam Walker has been charged with two offences of attempting to engage in sexual activity with a child.

The 24-year old forward maintains his innocence.

In a statement Hull KR has said: “Hull Kingston Rovers have been made aware by the player and his legal representative of charges brought against him by the West Yorkshire police.

“Adam continues to maintain his innocence and expects to be exonerated once the matter is before the courts.

“The matter is under constant review by the club and until such time as the situation changes the club will continue to support Adam and he will remain available for selection.

“Given there are now pending criminal proceedings before the court it  would be wholly inappropriate for the club to comment further.”
