The 47-year-old Australian guided the Robins to the treble in 2025 and to victory in the World Club Challenge.
Hull KR have announced that head coach Willie Peters will leave the club at the end of the season after four years in charge.
The 47-year-old Australian, who guided the Robins to the treble in 2025 and to victory in the World Club Challenge last month, wants to coach in the NRL.
Peters said in a statement: “I’ve made no secret of my desire to coach in the NRL as the next step of my career. However, it makes this decision no less difficult.
“I want to thank the board, the players and all of the staff at Sewell Group Craven Park for their support and commitment during four wonderful years where I have developed as a coach and as a person.
“I’d also like to thank the best fans in the world for taking me and my family in since our arrival. Hull KR and the East Hull community will forever be in our hearts.
“The job is not done. I am fully committed to what’s ahead which continues this week in preparing the players for the Hull derby this Friday.
“Our goal is always to make our community proud and we aim to do that each and every week.”
