Judah Rimbu Signs for the Tigers

Castleford Tigers are pleased to announce the signing of Judah Rimbu on a 2-year deal!

The 23-year-old Papua New Guinea international made 23 appearances in the 2024 Queensland Cup season for the PNG Hunters, scoring 16 tries and securing the 2024 QRL Hostplus Cup player of the year. Rimbu has recently captained the PNG side in the Pacific Championships, impressing many with a sterling performance where he secured himself a suberb try for his country.

Rimbu predominantly plays in the hooker position but can offer versatility by playing at halfback. The Tigers man has recently teamed up with Liam Horne and Sylvester Namo for the Kumuls, getting himself on the scoresheet against Australia and Fiji.

We caught up with Danny Wilson, Director of Rugby on the signing: “Judah has had an exceptional year and has generated a lot of interest in his services, so to win the race for his signature is very pleasing. He is an exciting player and will bring a lot of spark to the team”

The club is looking forward to welcoming Judah to Castleford Tigers as he heads over to the UK for Pre-Season!

Thank you to Ergo Real Estate, Judah Rimbu’s sponsor for the 2025 season.
