Speaking to the club’s official website about the contract extension, Robson said: “It was an easy decision for me to stay at Barrow this year.

“We have a top group of lads, on and off the pitch, and I’m excited to see how much more we can progress and achieve together next year.

“From day one, everyone has made me feel welcome. I’ve had two of my most enjoyable seasons, and I can’t wait for that to continue into 2027.”

Barrow Raiders director of rugby Andy Gaffney said: “We had high expectations for Ellis when he first arrived at the club, and he certainly hasn’t disappointed.

“He is part of a core group of experienced players that have continued to develop, both individually and collectively, and we are keen to see that continue next season.

“Ellis is also a fantastic role model for our younger players coming through, and people like that really help to build a positive culture for clubs like ours.”
