An “emotional” Lachlan Coote has retired with immediate effect after the decorated Hull KR full-back admitted he needed to put his health first.
Australian ace Coote, 33, was due to call it a day at the end of the season but has brought that forward following consultations with a concussion specialist.
The ex-St Helens star, who won Grand Finals in Super League and the NRL, suffered another head knock in Rovers’ Magic Weekend game last month.
