WARRINGTON Wolves have signed Jordan Cox from Hull KR.

The 23-year-old prop arrives at The Halliwell Jones Stadium on a one-year deal ahead of the 2016 season.

Hull-born Cox made his first-team debut for Rovers in 2011 having graduated through the academy system, enjoying a strong season in 2013.

The prop, who can be utilised in the second row, has also spent time on loan at Huddersfield Giants. He made 64 first-team appearances for Rovers, scoring six tries.

Wolves’ head of coaching and rugby Tony Smith said: “We are delighted to have signed Jordan. He is a big human being and fits the brief of what we are after here.

“He will add more depth to our forward pack and create more competition for places both in the middle at prop and back row positions.

“He’s been a former representative in the England Knights set-up and he has ambitions to go some steps further and we will be trying to help achieve some of those.”

Cox insists he has joined Wolves with the intention of winning silverware.

He added: “It’s a massive club. Warrington are always near the top, always there or thereabouts, pushing for silverware and challenging for top spot. I want to be a part of that.

“Warrington is a side I can hopefully push on in. The facilities here were a massive factor when I got shown around.

“What you put in and invest in off the field, you get back on the field. The indoor training facility and gym here are top notch and it’s working on the field too.

“I have fitted in really well so far. I know a couple of the lads already but it’s been good to meet all the players, staff and conditioners, everybody has been really good with me.”
