Castleford Tigers head coach Craig Lingard says they are hopeful ‘somebody’ will be joining the club next week, with a quota spot now free and work being done behind the scenes to get a deal over the line.
The Tigers yesterday confirmed the release of Albert Vete with immediate effect, departing the club having made just 10 appearances with his contract – which was due to expire at the end of this year – cut short.
Vete’s exit frees up a quota spot at the Jungle, meaning that Cas are able to bring in another overseas star, and in their press release confirming Vete’s departure, club chief Danny Wilson confirmed they were ‘actively looking’ to do so.
