Castleford Tigers want to keep key pair

Castleford Tigers head coach Daryl Powell is sure that Daniel Smith and Grant Millington will stay at the club next season.

The duo are in the final year of their current deals although were notably absent from the list of out-of-contract players which is annually released by the Rugby Football League. When a player in the final year of their contract is not named, it means they have signed a deal for the next campaign, although they will not necessarily have put pen to paper on a new deal with their current club. Millington joined Castleford ahead of the 2012 season and has gone on to make over 200 appearances for the Tigers. Pontefract-born Smith joined the Tigers from Huddersfield Giants in 2019. “We are in talks with both players and I want both players to stay at the club,” said Powell. “I am confident they both will but we don’t have anything to say on that as of yet.” Source- The Yorkshire Post
