Castleford Tigers are pleased to announce the signing of Jeremiah Simbiken.
 
The 24-year-old Papua New Guinea international finished the 2024 season playing for the Brisbane North Devils.

He made 23 appearances for the club in the 2nd row, scoring 10 tries. He has over 50 appearances for the Redcliffe Dolphins and Devils and joins his PNG team-mates, Sylvester Namo, Liam Horne and Judah Rimbu at The Jungle for 2025.

Danny Wilson, Director of Rugby at Castleford Tigers RLFC said: “We have been tracking Jeremiah for a while. Danny McGuire wanted to bring in an exciting second-rower, he is a fan of his game, and so we like what he brings to our side - tries AND tackles. His tackle percentage rate was mid 90% last season and that gets Brett Delaney excited too!

He has great experience, it helps that he knows some of our lads already, so we look forward to getting him into camp, getting him up to speed with the new coaching approach we have in place and getting the best out of him in a Cas shirt."
