TIGERS CAPTURE MULHERN SIGNATURE

Castleford Tigers are delighted to announce the signing of Robbie Mulhern from Leigh Leopards for the 2027 season and beyond. The 31 year old will call Castleford home after agreeing a 3 year deal to bring him to The OneBore Stadium. 

A powerful prop forward with vast experience at the top level, Mulhern has over 280 senior appearances under his belt to date, and will add a punch to the Tigers pack and we continue to invest in our squad.

The England international, who has also represented Ireland during his career, has earned 7 caps so far on the international stage. And he was excited at the prospect of pulling on the famous black and amber of Castleford moving forward.

"I’m really excited to be joining Castleford", said Mulhern. "I was impressed after speaking with Ryan and Chezzy about their vision for the club both on and off the field, and it was something that I really wanted to be a part of. I’ve spoken to a couple of the boys who are already there, and they’ve spoken really highly about the place and I can’t wait to meet the rest of the team, rip in and earn their respect."

"I know how much this club means to the people of Castleford, and hopefully with everyone pulling in the same direction and working together we can achieve something special."

"At present though, my full and undivided attention is focused on Leigh and finishing this year as strongly as possible. This club has been my home for the last four years, and I owe an enormous debt of gratitude to everyone involved for making my time here so special."

Tigers head coach Ryan Carr was happy to have secured the signature of such a highly rated Super League professional. 

"We're thrilled to secure Robbie's signature. He's one of the elite front rowers in our game, and this is a huge signing for our club. The qualities and attributes he brings, both on and off the field, will be massive for us. Robbie's professionalism, strong work ethic and competitive nature are exactly the standards we want to build around. He’s a champion person who always puts the team first and leads with his actions. We are really happy to have him onboard."

Director of Rugby Chris Chester on Mulhern's addition to the squad: "I’ve know Robbie since I took him to Hull Kr in 2016. Robbie has been a great leader for Leigh over the last 5 years and his leadership on and off the field is exactly what we need. Robbie leads with his actions, plays big minutes and he’s a player that has still got many good years ahead of him. I’m delighted he’s doing that with Cas over the next 3 years."

Robbie will be proudly sponsored by FW3.
