Back-row forward Graeme Horne has signed a one-year contract with Hull Kingston Rovers, which keeps him at the club for the 2017 season.
Horne, who was vice-captain of the side last season, has played more than 250 times for Rovers.
The former England international told the club's website: "I'm really chuffed to be staying for next season. The club means a lot to me and I had no hesitation in signing when they said they wanted to keep me.
"I missed a chunk of last season with a slipped disc in my back and couldn't help the club stay in Super League, so my focus now is on playing my part in taking us back up."
Hull KR's Head of Rugby Jamie Peacock added: "Graeme is a consistent and reliable performer for the club. It was important that we kept a core of experienced players within the squad to support the younger players and Graeme certainly fits into this category.
"He's played a lot of rugby throughout his career and he's been involved in big matches, whilst he's also previously captained the side on multiple occasions.
"He's a real leader within the group and he's somebody who the younger players in the squad look up to and turn to for advice."
