Alex Sutcliffe heads latest list of Castleford Tigers departures

The 24-year-old has been restricted to 23 appearances since joining the Tigers from Leeds at the end of 2021 and finishes this year out on loan at Halifax Panthers.

Jacob Hookem, Bailey Dawson, Kieran Hudson and Junior Mafi are also on their way out of Wheldon Road, joining a lengthy list of departures that features club stalwarts Nathan Massey and Greg Eden.

Castleford director of rugby operations Danny Wilson said: “Those lads work as hard as everybody else.

"What people don’t see is that they are doing the work that the first team do and more each week and each day for a lot less money. They really give everything they can to go and earn their dream and I hope that they continue to chase that.”
