There are some great people there, people who have put a lot of time and effort into me in the last couple of years, but this is just something that I couldn&#8217;t turn down.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">&#8220;It&#8217;s such a great opportunity for me over the next couple of years to create my own legacy and produce something special. I want to win trophies and win games.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Hull Kingston Rovers have captured exciting young halfback Jack Charles from neighbours Hull FC.
