OXEN & CASTLEFORD TIGERS EXTEND TECHNICAL KIT PARTNERSHIP TO 2030

Castleford Tigers are proud to announce a new two-year extension to our technical kit partnership with OXEN Sports, taking the relationship through until at least the end of the 2030 season.

The extension builds on a long-standing relationship which initially began in 2015, before transitioning to the OXEN branding ahead of the 2022 season. 

Since then, OXEN has worked closely with Castleford to produce the club’s playing, training, replica and leisurewear ranges, combining modern performance apparel with designs that recognise the Tigers’ proud history.

The relationship reached another landmark during Castleford’s Centenary season in 2026, with OXEN producing a special collection of kits and apparel celebrating 100 years of the club, including a home shirt featuring the names of 100 Castleford legends within the fabric.

Away from the pitch, the partnership has also continued to strengthen Castleford’s retail presence. OXEN’s flagship store at Junction 32 Outlet Shopping provides the Tigers with high-end, prominent retail space in the heart of Yorkshire, giving supporters a dedicated destination to purchase official club merchandise alongside OXEN’s wider sportswear and footwear collections.

The store has become an important part of OXEN’s presence within Castleford since opening in 2024, hosting product launches, player appearances and supporter events while providing the club with a visible year-round retail platform.

OXEN Sports CEO Lee Jenkinson said: “We are delighted to extend our partnership with Castleford Tigers for a further two years and take the relationship through until at least the end of the decade.

“Castleford was one of the clubs that played an important role in the early growth of OXEN, and our relationship has continued to develop both on and off the pitch.

“We are proud of the kits and collections we have created together, particularly during the club’s Centenary year, but the partnership goes far beyond the products worn by the players.

“Our flagship store at Junction 32 has allowed us to give Castleford Tigers a prominent, high-quality retail presence within their own community and create a destination where supporters can engage with both the club and the OXEN brand.

“We are excited by the direction Castleford are heading and look forward to continuing to work alongside the club throughout the remainder of the decade.”

Castleford Tigers Commercial Director Craig Jeffels added: “We are delighted to have agreed this extension with OXEN and to continue a partnership which has become an important part of the club.

“OXEN understands Castleford Tigers, our identity and the importance of producing ranges that our players and supporters are proud to wear.

“The retail space at Junction 32 also provides the club with an excellent presence in one of the area’s most prominent shopping destinations, giving supporters another high-quality and accessible way to purchase official Tigers merchandise.

“This extension provides both organisations with long-term stability and allows us to continue planning exciting new kits, retail ranges and supporter activations together. We look forward to building on the relationship through to 2030.”

The extended partnership will see OXEN continue to supply Castleford Tigers’ playing, training and replica kit ranges, while working alongside the club to further develop its official merchandise and supporter retail offering.

OXEN’s flagship Junction 32 store will see upcoming Castleford Tigers player appearances. Stay tuned for more details
