Castleford Tigers have signed Hull KR three-quarter Will Tate on a two-and-a-half-year deal.
The Robins released Tate, 21, from the remainder of his contract so he could take up the offer from their Super League rivals. He had struggled for first-team opportunities, not playing for KR since September, but Castleford hope to advance him. Rovers head coach Willie Peters said: “Will came through our Academy system and is a player we believe will have a successful career in Super League.
“He came to me and said he thinks the pathway to achieve that is better suited at another club. Although we didn’t want to lose him, we have given Will the opportunity to join Castleford and agreed to release him from the final year and a half of his contract. He is a quality person who has a lot to offer both on and off the field. We wish him all the best.”
