The former Normanton Knights full-back has been a fans' favourite since arriving and to date has made 168 appearances for the club, scoring a total of 63 points for the Red and Whites.
Crowned Fans Player of the Year in 2007 Cockayne was a key figure in the bid to gain Super League status. He also featured heavily in the Super League survival campaign last year ensuring his side remained in the top flight.
"It's great to be offered a three year deal. I'm looking forward to next season and helping the team win some silverware," said Cockayne who made his debut for Rovers against York City Knights in February 2006.
He went on to say: "I'll be working hard to get fit and be ready for the 2009 season, I've had a few injuries this year and it'll be good to start a fresh. I'd personally like to thank the Rovers Supporters Group and the Fans Forum who have sponsored both me and the club and have been a great help to Rovers over the years."
Rovers Head Coach Justin Morgan said: "This is terrific news for the club. To retain a top player like Ben is testament to the side that we are developing and building here. Ben plays with desire and passion and is a player with huge amounts of potential who has adapted well on the field this year."
