Axed head coach Lee Radford believes parting ways with Castleford Tigers will be the “correct” call for all involved.
He was relieved of his duties by mutual agreement in a shock development on Monday morning. The Betfred Super League season is only three games old but Radford has already become the first coaching casualty. Struggling Castleford had lost every match with Friday’s humiliating 36-0 home defeat against Wigan seemingly the last straw.
In a statement, Radford, 43, said: “With the club and myself heading in different directions, I think making this early call will be the correct one. Hopefully it can kick-start their season starting this Friday away at Huddersfield. I’d like to thank on record the fans, management, coaching staff and players and wish them all the best for 2023 and beyond.”
