Hull KR head coach Willie Peters will depart at season's end after a transformative four-year tenure that saw the club claim all four major Super League titles. The Australian coach led the Robins to their first league championship in 40 years, defeating Wigan Warriors in the Grand Final last October. Peters also guided Hull KR to their first Challenge Cup victory since 1980 and the League Leaders' Shield.

Under Peters' leadership, Hull KR achieved unprecedented success, culminating in a World Club Challenge victory over Brisbane Broncos in February. The club statement praised Peters as the most successful coach in their modern history, taking them to the pinnacle of the sport as world champions. His tenure included a unique dual role as assistant coach of Australia's national team since last year.

The timing of Peters' departure comes as Hull KR sits eighth in the Super League table after five games this season. The announcement follows Peters' recent expression of interest in the England head coach position after Shaun Wane's departure. His final match will be against local rivals Hull FC on Friday, marking the end of an era for a club that has been completely transformed under his guidance.
