Alex Mellor signed for The Tigers in 2022, after having spells at Bradford, Huddersfield and Leeds, Alex made his debut for Cas against The Catalan Dragons. The second row/centre was earned his way back into The Tigers side after suffering a knee injury in pre-season and has consistently performed since.

Danny Wilson spoke on Alex Mellor signing for Castleford for another two-years:

“Firstly, Alex has shown what he’s all about over the last six weeks, it was a big loss to lose him so early on against St Helens, but he’s shown the type of player he can be. It’s tough, being a line running forward that’s why he attracts interest. He’s athletic, he fits our DNA in what we’re trying to achieve and he’s a competitor as well as a good voice in the group and with Alex I think the reason why he wants to stay is that he believes in the plan and the project of trying to establish Castleford as a top six Super League club and he believes where we’re going and he wants to be a part of driving that forward for Castleford.”
