Fev friendly squad named

Andy Last has named a 20-man Castleford squad for the Tigers’ festive friendly fixture away at Featherstone Rovers on New Year’s Eve, which will kick-off at The Millennium Stadium at 12pm (midday).

The Tigers Assistant Coach (Last) takes charge of the squad for this fixture due to Lee Radford being part of the Samoan national team's reception and celebrations following their historic World Cup campaign.

Castleford’s squad news is proudly sponsored and brought to you by GeoShield.

The youthful squad will be looking to start the Fords’ pre-season campaign with a win over one of our nearby Championship neighbours, with matches against Keighley Cougars, Whitehaven and Huddersfield Giants to come ahead of the 2023 Betfred Super League campaign.

Saturday’s game will present the Fords faithful their first chance to see new recruits Jack Broadbent, Bailey Dawson, Jacob Hookem, Ilikaya Mafi and Muizz Mustapha.

Oliver Agar, George Hill & Elliot Wallis could be in line to make their first appearances for our senior side since joining the Tigers Reserves set up during 2022, as could Academy products Hugo Nikhata and Aaron Willis after making the step up into the First Team pre-season for the first time this year.

Following the exciting announcement of Castleford’s partnership with Midland Hurricanes too, Conner Gilbey, Courage Mkuhlani and Ben Stead have stepped into the team to represent our link with the League One outfit.

Oliver Agar, Jack Broadbent, Bailey Dawson, Bureta Faraimo, Mahe Fonua, Conner Gilbey, George Hill, Jacob Hookem, Ilikaya Mafi, Brad Martin, Courage Mkuhlani, Muizz Mustapha, Hugo Nikhata, Jason Qareqare, Cain Robb, Daniel Smith, Ben Stead, Alex Sutcliffe, Elliot Wallis, Aaron Willis.
