Castleford Tigers have appointed charismatic ex- Hull KR stand-off Scott Murrell to their coaching staff.
He joins as the club’s reserve team head coach but will also assist their Super League squad. Murrell, 37, retired at the end of last season having helped Keighley Cougars win League 1. He had been their assistant coach and also worked in the same role when he played for Championship Halifax.
But Murrell, who started out in Leeds Rhinos’ academy, is best remembered for some stellar times as a crafty playmaker with KR in Super League. On his move to Lee Radford’s Castleford, he said: “I am really looking forward to it. I’ve been speaking to Radders, Andy Last and Danny Wilson over the last few weeks and I can’t wait to get involved and get stuck in with the Tigers.
