Castleford Tigers Prepare for 2025 Season
As the recruitment window heats up, Super League teams are actively assembling their squads for the 2025 campaign. Love Rugby League takes a closer look at Castleford Tigers’ off-season plans, exploring the players under contract, those departing, and the areas the club may seek to strengthen.
Castleford’s 2025 Squad
The following players are under contract for the upcoming season:
- Innes Senior
- Louis Senior
- Cain Robb
- Alex Mellor
- Sam Hall
- Jason Qareqare
- George Hill
- Luke Hooley
- Josh Simm
- Sam Wood
- Jacob Miller
- Paul McShane
- George Lawler
- Elie El-Zakhem
- Joe Westerman
- George Griffin
- Rowan Milnes
- Nixon Putt
- Josh Hodson
- Muizz Mustapha
- Sylvester Namo
- Will Tate
- Fletcher Rooney
Departures
“Jack Broadbent will join Hull KR on a permanent deal, while Corey Hall’s loan spell at Castleford will end, as he signs for Wakefield Trinity in 2025. The club has also confirmed that half-back Danny Richardson will not be offered a new contract.”
Off-Contract Players
Liam Watts, Liam Horne, Samy Kibula, and Charbel Tasipale have one-year extension options, while Luis Johnson, Brad Martin, Tex Hoy, and Dan Hindmarsh-Takyi’s deals expire at the end of the current season.
Potential Exits
Brad Martin is rumored to be leaving, with Leigh Leopards interested, while there is also interest in Tex Hoy from other clubs, though Castleford are reportedly working to retain him.
Squad Needs
If Hoy departs, fullback will be a priority for the Tigers, with Luke Hooley facing competition from the likes of Broadbent. The club’s efforts to sign Corey Hall permanently suggest they are also in the market for a new centre. Additional forward reinforcements may also be required, depending on the futures of players like Watts and Hindmarsh-Takyi.
With 23 senior players already under contract, Castleford may need to make room in their squad to pursue any significant new signings for the 2025 rugby league season.
