Super League side chasing immediate signing

Andy Last early today confirmed that Castleford Tigers loose-forward and hooker Adam Milner is set to leave the club with immediate effect.

He confirmed that the veteran at the Jungle is likely headed to Huddersfield Giants.

On this, Last said to BBC Radio Leeds: “He’s potentially on the move, that has been talked about a lot in terms of the press, that hasn’t been finalised but that is why he’s not playing for at the weekend.”

Last also confirmed that it would be with immediate effect:

“Um, yes, potentially with immediate effect just got to dot the Is and cross the Ts for both clubs.”

When asked if the club would replace Milner, Last said he would be in the market but that they had the means to replace him:

“We are able to fill that position from within but we are actually looking into the market to bring somebody in between now and the end of the season.

“It’s a tough market but if a player becomes available that we think can help improve us then we’ll look to strike, but we don’t want to just make signings for the sake of making signings.”

Who the Tigers could look at remains unclear.
