Catalans’ Tom Davies believes he has signed up for “something special” after confirming he will join Hull KR in 2025.

The 27-year-old former England winger joins on a three-year deal after spending five seasons at Perpignan. He has developed into one of Super League’s best players since moving from hometown Wigan, where he won a grand final in 2018. Davies also came close to glory with the Catalans, losing in the title decider at Old Trafford against Wigan last year and St Helens in 2022.




He has scored 60 tries in 95 games for Les Dracs after scoring 30 in 63 for Wigan and also netted once in his solitary England appearance against France in 2021. Davies said: “I can’t wait to come to Robins. I’ve had a great time in France for the past five years.

“But after speaking to Willie (Peters) and seeing where Hull KR are going now, I know it’s something special and I can’t wait to be a part of it all. I know a few of the boys from Hull. KR already: I ​​was close to Ty (Tyrone May) last year and he spoke to me about Hull KR’s philosophy and what the team is about. Willie took the time to talk to me and get to know me as a player and a person.

“After speaking to him and hearing what his goals are and what he wants to do with the club, it was an easy decision for me to choose the Robins. I want to push for trophies in a good team that strives for success.”

Rovers will see veteran England winger Ryan Hall join Leeds at the end of the season, but Davies’ arrival is sure to excite fans. Head coach Peters said: “Tom is a very exciting signing for the club. He’s arguably one of the best insiders in the competition, and his stats bear that out. Tom is known for his ability to score tries and finish near the line, but he is also a strong ball carrier and a good defender.

“We are always looking to bring personalities to the team and Tom will be a great addition to our group as he is a very likeable person and player. We want to bring in players who have their best years ahead of them, Tom is certainly in that category. He will be a key member of our team for several years.”
