Senior Brothers sign on two-year deals!

Castleford Tigers are pleased to announce the signings of Ireland internationals Innes and Louis Senior on two-year deals!

Innes Senior is sponsored In Loving Memory of Mary Clifford.

Louis Senior is sponsored by AJ Glass Fibre.

Recruitment news is sponsored by Clover Brickwork.

The Senior brothers both originally signed for the Fords for the 2024 campaign on loan deals from Huddersfield Giants and Hull KR. The flying wingers have represented Ireland previously in the 2021 World Cup and got themselves on the scoresheet on the world stage. Innes currently sits on 13 tries in Tigers colours in all competitions, while his brother Louis has also had a bright start to his Tigers career scoring 5 tries.

Director of Rugby Operations Danny Wilson is pleased to have both players tied down for the next two years on permanent deals and believes that they both bring added quality to the squad going forward.

“With Innes he came into the squad as a fringe player and as we talk about our DNA and talk about our big, tall, athletic outside backs, he fit that perfectly. He’s came in and lit Castleford alight and to be one of the top try scorers in Super League is a great testament to him and how he finishes. I think when you look at adding quality to a squad, we had to go to Innes hard and get him to commit to us.”

“You see what he’s doing early on and you think, well if only you could find another that was like him and looked like him and plays like him and luckily he has a twin brother!

 “Louis has come in and done exactly the same, scoring full-length tries and finishing tries really well. So, to get them both tied down and to have the opportunity to play like for like on either wing is only good for Castleford moving forward and I think if you look at the back line we’re putting together it’s very exciting for the future.”
