Iestyn Harris completed his move from Bradford to Featherstone when he signed a two-year deal.
Veteran opts against Super League future with Crusaders
Dual-code international Iestyn Harris has signed a two-year contract with Featherstone.
The 32-year-old former Wales and Great Britain stand-off had considered retiring at the end of the season but has opted to continue as a part-time player with Rovers.
He will also work in the club's public relations and marketing department and take up a mentoring role with their young players.
Harris, who will shortly start a business degree course, will also assist new head coach Daryl Powell off the field and fulfil his recent appointment as an assistant to new Wales coach John Dixon.
The former Leeds and Bradford skipper turned down a move to Dixon's Celtic Crusaders, which would have enabled him to remain in Super League, and admitted the appointment of Powell was a factor behind his decision.
"I spoke to Celtic Crusaders and it was a really good option but, when I met with Daryl, I really believed this was the right option for my future," he told a press conference at Featherstone.
"I played with Daryl at Leeds and I know his ability as a coach. I'm still feeling really fresh and I'm looking forward to two more years playing. I still feel I've a lot to give.
"The most important thing is the playing side of things but hopefully over the two years there will be things to do on the coaching side."
