Hull KR have handed two-year contract extensions to Liam Salter and James Green.

Salter, an 18-year-old winger who has played in three of Rovers' last seven matches, and Green, a 21-year-old prop who is yet to make his Super League debut, were out of contract at the end of the season but are now tied to the club until the end of 2014.

Hull KR chief executive Mike Smith said: "We have a real focus on producing our own talent and want to see the likes of Liam Salter and James Green become regular first-team players in the future. The fact that we have tied them down to new contracts is a statement of intent that shows we don't want our talented, young players leaving the club to go elsewhere."
