Windley played five first team games for Tigers last season, under current Eagles coach Craig Lingard, but has not featured in 2025. Daejarn Asi is established at stand-off for Tigers and was partnered by mid-season signing Chris Atkin for last Saturday’s narrow defeat by Wigan Warriors, when number seven Rowan Milnes dropped out of the 17.
