Castleford Tigers Seek Reinforcements: Coach Lingard Hopeful of New Signing Next Week
Castleford Tigers head coach Craig Lingard has revealed the club’s intent to bolster their squad, stating that they are “hoping somebody is going to come in next week” as they look to fill a vacant quota spot.
The Tigers recently confirmed the release of Albert Vete, with the Fijian international departing the club after making just 10 appearances. This move has opened up an opportunity for Cas to bring in another overseas player, and according to club chief Danny Wilson, they are “actively looking” to do so.
In the aftermath of their 36-14 defeat to Wigan Warriors, Lingard provided an update on the Tigers’ recruitment plans, acknowledging the fluid nature of the situation. “We’re constantly looking and we’re constantly having conversations,” the coach said. “There’s sort of provisional agreements in place with certain individuals, but if players get injured or if players get suspended at their current clubs, then that picture changes and it’s moving every single hour of the day.“
The coach remained coy when asked about reports linking Tex Hoy to the Jungle, simply stating, “I’ve seen that as well. Can you tell me anything? You know as much as I do.“
With the Super League season in full swing, Castleford’s search for reinforcements underscores the importance of maintaining a competitive squad. Fans will be eager to see who the Tigers are able to bring in next week as they look to bolster their chances of success in the remainder of the campaign.
