Eddie Rombo had made a name for himself playing rugby union in his home country Kenya, and he came over to the UK in 1990 to study at Leeds University and had trials at Headingley. He did well enough to be signed on by Leeds, but played only nine first team games before moving to Dewsbury. He had four productive seasons at Dewsbury where he was a regular try-scorer and became a real crowd-pleaser. Rovers signed him in time for the centenary season in 1995/96. Playing on the opposite wing to Owen Simpson, this was arguably the fastest pair of wingers the club ever had. Underused in that centenary season, Rombo scored some spectacular long range tries in the first summer season of 1996. Towards the end of the 1997 season, Rombo left Featherstone and had a short spell with Morley rugby union before heading home to Kenya. He had scored 26 tries in 55 games.
