Sam Wood joins Tigers

Castleford Tigers have announced the signing of Sam Wood on a three-year deal from Hull KR.

Wood can play as a centre or a winger and has previous Betfred Super League experience, featuring for Hull KR on 33 occasions after making the switch in 2022 from Huddersfield Giants, where he came through the academy system and played 52 times at senior level.

Wood has also enjoyed several loan spells throughout his development - he was involved in two dual reg spells with Oldham, one with Workington and also went on loan to Halifax, Batley and Dewsbury.

He is eager to compete at the highest level and spoke of his pride to get the move over the line with the Tigers.
 
?I?m buzzing!" Wood exclaimed. 

"It's a real good opportunity for me personally to come to Castleford for an extended period of time where I can settle, and I know where I'm going to be playing my Rugby for the next 3 years.
 
"I'm at a point in my life now where I want some stability and want to be at a club where I can really make it my own, put my imprint on the club and fight for that starting shirt to really become a part of that club.
 
"I leave everything on the field for the fans and I'll try my very best every week. I know they're a passionate group and they turn out in their numbers, so I'll be trying to repay them week in, week out."
