The Tigers have two players named in the 2025 Academy Origin Series next month, which kicks-off at The Jungle, on Saturday May 10th.

Alfie Lindsay and Alfie Salmon have both been named in the Yorkshire Squad, along with Castleford’s Director of Pathway & Coaching, and First Team Assistant Coach Rob Nickolay who has been named Head Coach for his third successive Origin Series.

These two are the first representative players to be named in the regional squad, since Fletcher Rooney in 2023. #COYF
