Clint Newton shrugged off a calf injury to play against Wakefield on Sunday

Hull Kingston Rovers second row forward Clint Newton has signed a new four-year deal to keep him at the club until the end of the 2013 season.

The 27-year-old former Melbourne Storm star was due to be out of contract at Craven Park at the end of this season.

He told the Hull Daily Mail: "There is no other team I want to play for.

"I have no desire to return to the NRL because there is something special happening here at Rovers and I want to be part of it."

Newton believes he can add a Super League title to the Grand Final honour he won while playing at the Storm.
