Narrative:
After cleared for the touch and go for runway xx; I continued the approach. I requested a wind check and had a stabilized; normal landing. After touchdown; I had right rudder input to maintain directional control; however; the aircraft veered to the left; instructor also acted with right rudder input to confirm the input but the aircraft did not react and continued to veer off to the left. It resulted in us running over runway hold short sign for the intersecting runway. The aircraft came to a stop in the grass. As per procedure; we shutdown the aircraft and waited for fire and rescue.
