Alex Sutcliffe confirms his next destination

It’s probably one of the worst kept secrets in Super League history, but Alex Sutcliffe has confirmed he will be a Castleford Tigers player in 2022.

The utility forward/back was tagged in a number of social media posts on Instagram wishing him well at his next destination which will be the Jungle.

Leeds head coach Richard Agar had spoke out about the potential transfer earlier in the season.

“I’m really disappointed,” Agar said.

“I’ve not hidden from the fact we like Alex as a player and what he can do for us.

“But we’re a development club, we believe in developing our own and sometimes when you develop your own you have to almost accept and concede along the way you’re not going to be able to keep them all.

“While I’m disappointed he’s going, while we did see him as part of our plans moving forward, we’ve been unable to keep him. That happens, that’s life.”

Sutcliffe forms part of Lee Radford’s new revolution at Castleford with a whole host of incomings and outgoings expected.
