Hull KR centre Peta Hiku has signed a new deal to remain with the Super League champions for a further year, keeping him with the club until the end of the 2027 season.
The 33-year-old New Zealand international joined Hull KR from North Queensland Cowboys in 2024, having made 200 appearances in the NRL.
Having previously had a brief spell with Warrington, he has helped Hull KR win the treble of the Super League, the Challenge Cup and the League Leaders' Shield in 2025, followed by the World Club Challenge in February.
"Ever since I've been here, Hull KR have been so welcoming, and it's been an awesome club to be a part of. My family is happy here, and that's what makes it an easy decision," he told the club's website, external.
"I always knew I wanted to stay here. I want to go out there and play footy and enjoy it. Then come off the field and enjoy our fans and our club."
Hiku scored in the 30-24 World Club Challenge victory over Brisbane Broncos.
"Peta is in our leadership group and has a big influence on the team, on and off the field, and he is a likeable character," head coach Willie Peters said.
"I'm looking forward to working with Peta for the rest of the season and creating more memories as we have done over the last two-and-a-half years."
