Hull KR captain Mick Vella to retire
- From the section Rugby League
Hull KR captain Mick Vella will retire at the end of the season.
The 33-year-old, who made 113 appearances for Rovers, won eight caps for Australia.
The prop forward told the Hull Daily Mail: "The decision was made for me because I've not been offered a new contract, even though I had planned to play another year.
"I felt my body was good enough to play another year, but teams aren't willing to take a gamble on me."
