U.S. Provides $900,000 in Emergency Relief for Papua New Guinea Quake and Flood Victims

 Featherstone Rovers has made an announcement regarding the departure of McKenzie Yei from the club, effective immediately.

Yei, who has faced recurring injury setbacks, has opted to take a hiatus from Rugby League to concentrate on his rehabilitation.

Since joining Featherstone Rovers ahead of the 2023 season, Yei, a beloved figure among fans, has made 20 appearances for the club, contributing with 5 tries.

James Ford, the Head Coach of Rovers, expressed his admiration for Yei's contributions, stating, "I have really enjoyed working with McKenzie and I know that the fans have enjoyed watching him play. He’s been a real favourite on and off field."

Ford further elaborated on Yei's decision, citing a knee injury as the primary reason for his departure, "Unfortunately, after picking up a knee injury, he’s not quite nailed his rehab. He’s going to spend some time away from rugby to complete that and we wish him the very best."

In response, Yei expressed gratitude towards Featherstone Rovers and its supporters, acknowledging their unwavering support throughout his tenure. "I would like to say thank you for everything that the club and the fans have given me during my time here. I’ve always felt the love from you all, either on and off the field, and I’ll always be a flatcapper!"

The club, in turn, praised Yei's contributions as a valuable team player, both on and off the field, extending their best wishes for his future endeavors.
