“I’m buzzing," said the 26-year-old, who is Castleford's sixth signing for 2024.

"It’s a real good opportunity for me personally to come to Castleford for an extended period of time where I can settle; I know where I’m going to be playing my rugby for the next three years.

"I’m at a point in my life now where I want some stability and want to be at a club where I can really make it my own, put my imprint on the club and fight for that starting shirt to really become a part of that club.

“I leave everything on the field for the fans and I’ll try my very best every week. I know they’re a passionate group and they turn out in their numbers so I’ll be trying to repay them week in, week out.”
