Former St Helens forward Mose Masoe has arrived at Hull KR ahead of their tilt at a return to Super League.

Masoe, 28, joined the club last month and has flown to the UK thanks to support from the Rovers Supporters Group.

He is likely to play a significant part in Hull KR’s efforts to make an immediate return to the top flight.

They finished top of the Championship but must now successfully navigate The Qualifiers against the four worst teams in Super League.

Their campaign gets underway against fellow Championship side Halifax on Sunday.

Masoe, who has played seven times for Samoa, made 52 appearances for St Helens in a two-year spell up to the end of 2015.
