FORMER Bulls player Keal Carlile has been released by Hull KR following the arrival of on-loan Huddersfield hooker Shaun Lunt.

The 24-year-old wants to leave the club in order to boost his chances of playing regular first-team rugby elsewhere.

"I want to be playing every week and putting myself in the shop window," said Carlile.

"I've got a young family to think about and, although everything has happened so fast, the time felt right to move on to the next chapter in my career."
