Jack Brown’s Castleford Tigers switch finally confirmed as length of deal revealed

Jack Brown is now officially a Castleford Tigers player, penning a deal with the West Yorkshire club until 2028.

His move to the OneBore Stadium comes following his release from Hull KR yesterday (Monday, June 1), and joins the club with immediate effect.

He is also the latest mid-season recruit to join Ryan Carr’s side mid-year, following the additions of Tyler Dupree and Phoenix Laulu-Togaga’e earlier this season, and follows the departure of Brad Singleton last week.

Brown, who’s last appearance for Hull KR came in their 40-10 defeat to Wigan Warriors in the Challenge Cup final on Saturday, brings strong experience with him to his new employers, boasting 91 Super League appearances across spells with both KR and city rivals Hull FC. During his time with the Robins, he also helped win a historic treble last season.

Commenting on joining Castleford, Brown said: “I’m really pleased, obviously the opportunity to come here early came about.

“It’s one I jumped at, and I’m really excited to get started.”

Also commenting, Tigers director of rugby Chris Chester added: “We’re pleased to welcome Jack to the club.

“He is a player we’ve admired for some time, and we believe he has the character and ability to make a positive impact both on and off the field.

“We’re excited to see him in a Tigers shirt and look forward to working with him.”

Castleford Tigers recruitment drive for 2027

Brown and fellow new recruit Dupree are part of a much wider recruitment drive in the Castleford pack ahead of next season, with Love Rugby League understanding Leigh Leopards star and England international Robbie Mulhearn will also head to Wheldon Road for the 2027 season.

Elsewhere, LRL also understands fellow Leopards man Ben McNamara and Wakefield Trinity half-back Mason Lino are also set to join Carr’s squad next season.

These also follow the addition of current St George Illawarra Dragons and former Kangaroo and NSW Blues representative Damien Cook on a two-year deal, and they might not be done there, either.

“Yeah, there’ll be many (new additions),” Carr teased last month. “We have a small squad at the moment, we’re not 35 deep, we’re running with a small squad for many different reasons.”
