Hull KR have revealed that off-season recruit Rhyse Martin will be sidelined for around four months with a quadricep injury.

Back-rower Martin – who joined the Robins from fellow Super League outfit Leeds Rhinos ahead of 2025 – was forced off in the first half of last Thursday night’s 42-0 victory against Salford Red Devils at Craven Park.

Pulling up after kicking a goal, he eventually left the field a few minutes later after taking in a carry.

The veteran Papua New Guinea international wasn’t able to return to the action against Salford.

And ahead of the Robins’ trip to St Helens in Round 4 on Friday evening, KR have now confirmed that the 32-year-old will be out for a pretty lengthy period with surgery to come.

Posting on their X account (@hullkrofficial) on Tuesday afternoon, the club wrote: “Hull KR can confirm second-rower Rhyse Martin sustained a quadricep injury in the win over Salford Red Devils.

“The injury will require surgery later this week with an estimated recovery time of four months.

“We’re with you, Rhyse ❤️”
