Castleford Tigers director of rugby Jon Wells says the capture of Melbourne Storm centre Cheyse Blair is a “huge statement of intent” for the club.

The powerful Australian - an NRL Grand Finalist with Storm in 2016 - has joined on a three-and-a-half-year contract.

Blair, 27, should help solve Castleford’s problematic right centre slot where head coach Daryl Powell has tried four different players already this term.

At six foot four inches and weighing 16 stone, the former Parramatta Eels and Manly Sea Eagles player offers a considerable presence.
