Castleford Tigers set to sign Challenge Cup final forward following exit from Hull KR

Castleford Tigers are set to confirm the signing of prop Jack Brown following his exit from Hull KR.

The Robins announced Brown’s departure this morning (Monday), two days after he featured as a substitute in their Betfred Challenge Cup final defeat by Wigan Warriors. The 25-year-old joined Hull KR from Hull FC in 2024 and made 32 appearances, including last year’s Wembley win against Warrington Wolves.

Brown said: “It has been a special two years. Coming to Hull KR was special for me and my family. I was a Hull KR supporter as a young lad so to come over and play for the club has been great. Doing it for my family was a big reason I signed for the club. To be able to do that and win silverware along the way has been special.”
