Micky McIlorum to retire at the end of 2025 season

Hull KR have confirmed that three-time Super League Grand Final winner and four-time Challenge Cup winner, Michael McIlorum will call time on his illustrious career at the end of the 2025 Betfred Super League season.

McIlorum captured major honours during his time with the Warriors and was part of the first Catalans’ side to win the Challenge Cup, helping the French side to edge out Warrington Wolves 20-14 in the final back in 2018.

This season, the 37-year-old has helped fire the Robins to a Challenge Cup and League Leaders' Shield double and will look to take to the field for the final time in the Red and White's Play-Off campaign.

The Leeds native has made over 400 elite career appearances in the Betfred Super League, the Challenge Cup and on the international stage for Ireland and England.

Paying tribute to McIlorum, Willie Peters said: “On behalf of the club, I’d like to thank Micky McIlorum for his contributions to Hull KR this season.

"You can’t put a value on experience and how players add to culture. But Micky has certainly played a massive part in the success of the Robins this year.

"Mainly around, what he does off field in team meetings and in the dressing before a game. When Micky talks, everyone listens.

"I haven’t coached a tougher person or competitor than Micky. It’s a pleasure to say I’ve coached him in the last season of his career.”
