Wigan Warriors prop James Greenwood loaned to Hull Kingston Rovers

Wigan Warriors prop James Greenwood joins Hull KR on loan until the end of the season.

Hull Kingston Rovers have signed Wigan Warriors prop James Greenwood on loan until the end of the season.

The 23-year-old has gone straight into the Hull squad for their trip to Leeds Rhinos on Friday.

Greenwood has been brought to Hull as injury cover while Dane Tilse, Adam Walker and Graeme Horne remain on the sidelines.

"James has come through a very good system at Wigan and he's highly rated within the club and the game," head coach Chris Chester is quoted as saying by Sky Sports News.

"He's a tough young kid who will bring a real physical presence out on the field and I'm sure he'll make a big difference for us for the rest of the season. We're delighted to have him on board and I can't thank Wigan enough for allowing us to borrow his services."

Hull KR currently sit in ninth place in the Super League table following six wins from 13 games.
