Robbie Mulhern out to 'achieve something special' with Castleford Tigers after buying into vision
Robbie Mulhern has backed Castleford Tigers' long-term vision after becoming the latest high-profile signing for 2027.
The Leeds Rhinos academy product will join the Tigers on a three-year deal at the end of the season, marking a return to his native Yorkshire following spells with Warrington Wolves and Leigh Leopards.
Mulhern – capped by Ireland and England at international level – has made almost 300 career appearances since his debut in 2014, including 110 in Hull KR colours.
"I'm really excited to be joining Castleford," said the experienced prop.
"I was impressed after speaking with Ryan (Carr, head coach) and Chezzy (Chris Chester, director of rugby) about their vision for the club, both on and off the field. It was something that I really wanted to be a part of.
"I've spoken to a couple of the boys who are already there and they’ve spoken really highly about the place. I can't wait to meet the rest of the team, rip in and earn their respect.
"I know how much this club means to the people of Castleford. Hopefully with everyone pulling in the same direction and working together, we can achieve something special."
Mulhern will link up with St George Illawarra Dragons duo Mat Feagai and Damien Cook in a new-look Castleford squad next season.
Carr views the 31-year-old as an important piece of the puzzle.
"We're thrilled to secure Robbie's signature," said the Castleford boss.
"He's one of the elite front-rowers in our game and this is a huge signing for our club. The qualities and attributes he brings, both on and off the field, will be massive for us.
"Robbie's professionalism, strong work ethic and competitive nature are exactly the standards we want to build around. He’s a champion person who always puts the team first and leads with his actions. We are really happy to have him on board."
