Lawler extends his stay at the Jungle

Castleford Tigers have announced that George Lawler has signed a two-year contract extension.

Lawler joined the Tigers from Hull KR in 2022 and has since played on 29 occasions for the club, scoring twice.

The versatile forward expressed his delight to be staying at the Jungle for the next two years and wants to get the club back to a place where the fans can be proud.

"I'm really looking forward to this year after a year that didn't go the best and was embarrassing at times. We need a massive pre-season underneath us and with the signings we've made hopefully it will be a lot better next year. This season we need to show a bit more grit and a lot more togetherness because that goes a long way.

"The boys who have already signed and the players coming over for next year seem excited about it. I'm happy to stay for the next two years. We need to get back where Cas fans can be proud of us each week and we will be putting the work in and giving them something to shout about."
