The Parksiders finished second in Betfred League One last season, but successive home defeats in the play-offs shattered their hopes of promotion to the Championship. Rovers topped the Championship table before a similarly catastrophic play-offs campaign cost them a place in Super League.

Jordan-Roberts made one Super League appearance for Leeds in 2017 and worked as a primary school PE teacher before joining Rhinos’ Foundation last year in a development officer role. He had spells with York Knights and Rochdale Hornets and signed for Hunslet two years ago.
