Tigers Sign Mikaele Ravalawa on Three-Year Deal

The Tigers are thrilled to announce the signing of Fijian winger Mikaele Ravalawa on a three-year deal, commencing ahead of the 2026 Super League  season.

The 27-year-old joins the club from St George Illawarra Dragons, bringing with him a wealth of NRL experience. With over 100 first-grade appearances and an impressive tally of 67 tries, Ravalawa is set to be a major asset to the Tigers' backline.

Mikaele spoke today about the move “I'm really excited to come and join a new team. I was happy with the way they treated me; everything was really positive.

I’m looking forward to getting ready to rip-in with the boys and experience a new county for the second time. My strengths are my kick returns and scoring some tries.

I'm really excited about coming to play for the Tigers, and I can't wait to see you!”

Director of Rugby Chris Chester also spoke on the news “I'm delighted that we've able to bring the quality of Mikaele over to the Castleford Tigers for the next 3 years.

I think this signing shows how serious we are as a club to get things right on the field for 2026.

Mika has a high work rate, great yardage carry and is also a proven try scorer at the highest level.

I know Mika is really excited about joining up with Ryan Carr again and is really excited to taste the experience of playing at The OneBore stadium.”
