Utility forward Neville Costigan has agreed a move to Super League side Hull Kingston Rovers.

The 28-year-old will spend one more season with the Newcastle Knights, before linking up with his new teammates later this autumn.

"Nev is a quality player and one who has won a Grand Final, represented his country and played State of Origin," said Hull coach Craig Sandercock.

"He'll bring a lot to our team and that's why I was keen to get him over to our club. Nev was a pleasure to coach when I was with Newcastle and I'm looking forward to working with him again."

Costigan has signed a two-year contract with the Robins.
