Hull Kingston Rovers' utility player, Scott Murrell has put pen to paper signing a three-year contract extension this week, committing to the club until the end of the 2012 season.

Having signed from Leeds Rhinos at the end of 2005, Murrell was part of the team that helped Morgan's National League 1 side to Super League promotion, playing a key role in the club's Super League survival campaign last season also.

The 22-year-old who was originally contracted to the club until the end of 2009 has been side-lined for the majority of the season due to a shoulder injury, which occurred against the Quins at home on May 25th, and is desperate for his team mates to secure a play-off spot this year.

Scott remarked: "It's been frustrating having to watch week after week from the side lines, I cant wait to get back to playing. It's great to know that I will be part of a club that has secured a three year Super League licence."

He went on to say: "I really hope the boys get there this season, they have done so well considering all our injuries, and to be challenging for a top 6 spot after only two years in the top flight, is testament to the hard work that has been put in by players and coaching staff.

"This club has great character and the fans are a massive part of that, they really do support the players through thick and thin, I can't wait to get back to playing and run out at Craven Park to the roar of the East Stand."

Rovers Head Coach Justin Morgan said: "Scott is a very determined individual who has worked hard on his game during his time at the club. He is a good player to build a team around, its excellent news that he has agreed to stay with us for a further three years, and shows that he is a player that is settled and is ready to commit to the club."

Fans are reminded that tickets for the next *two fixtures are available from the official club store 269 Holderness Road and Craven Park Stadium:

Bradford Bulls - Monday 25th August 2.15pm kick-off
*Hull FC - Sunday 7th September 12noon

*Tickets for the Hull FC fixture go on general sale Thursday 21st August 9.30am.
