BROAD SMILES

Jack delighted at Rovers switch... now he faces fight to earn place in team

- DAVE CRAVEN

JACK BROADBENT has joined Hull KR to win trophies but knows he has a battle just to win a spot in the team.

The England Knights international has initially switched from strugglers Castleford on a season-long loan but will then take up a three-year deal at Craven Park.

Rovers outside backs Corey Hall (right) and Louis Senior (right, below) have moved the other way on loan deals until the end of the season to try to bolster Tigers, who have won just once so far.

Ex-Leeds player Broadbent, 23, can operate at full-back, stand-off, centre and wing and has been one of the better performers for Castleford this season.

But competition is rife at Rovers, one of the reasons Hall and Senior have moved on from Willie Peters' squad on short-term deals.
