“I’ve played many a time down here at Castleford; it’s a very tough place to come and they have got a great set of players here, with obviously really good coaching staff.

“The background and everything about the club is really exciting. I’m looking forward to getting straight into training this week.”

Tigers coach Daryl Powell said: “We have taken the opportunity to sign a high-quality player who has come available at a time in the season when we have had significant injuries.

“I want to make sure all of our players are on their toes in every position and the signing of Danny Tickle enhances our squad depth with a player of proven quality at the highest level. I’m delighted to welcome Danny to Castleford.”
