'Very influential player': Castleford Tigers tie down experienced forward George Lawler
George Lawler has signed up for the latest rebuild at Castleford Tigers after penning a three-year contract extension.
The versatile forward has made 79 appearances for the Tigers since joining from boyhood club Hull KR ahead of the 2022 season.
Lawler, who has scored tries in his last three outings, becomes the first player to commit to Castleford since Danny McGuire's departure as head coach.
Director of rugby Chris Chester views the 29-year-old as a key figure as he continues to put his stamp on the squad.
"We are delighted to get this deal over the line," said Chester.
"George is a very influential player in the squad and consistently performs well. He's a player that leads with his actions on the field and is equally impressive off it.
"I'm looking forward to seeing George playing in Cas colours for the next three years.”
