CONFIRMED: The sports world is ablaze with excitement over the latest update on Castleford Tigers star Joe Westerman. What was once mere speculation and rumour is now officially validated…
Castleford Tigers have officially confirmed that Joe Westerman, one of their most experienced and influential players, has signed a new contract extension that will see him remain at the Mend-A-Hose Jungle through 2026. After weeks of mounting speculation about his future, the news delivers a major boost for the Tigers’ faithful and signals the club’s intent to build around leadership and consistency.
Westerman, known for his rugby intelligence, toughness, and playmaking ability, has been a central figure in the Tigers’ pack. Since returning to his hometown club in 2022, he’s brought not only quality performances on the field but also a wealth of experience, guiding younger players and setting standards across the squad.
In a statement, the club called Westerman “a true leader on and off the pitch,” emphasising that his commitment reflects the culture head coach Danny McGuire is fostering — one of loyalty, pride, and long-term vision.
“I’ve always worn this shirt with pride,” said Westerman. “To be able to continue representing Castleford, the club I’ve always loved, means the world to me. We’ve got a strong group here, and I believe in what we’re building.”
The announcement was met with overwhelming excitement from Tigers supporters, many of whom see Westerman as the heart and soul of the current side. Social media was ablaze with praise for the veteran forward, who continues to defy expectations with his consistency and competitive edge.
With Castleford looking to climb the Super League ladder and re-establish themselves as playoff contenders, retaining a leader like Westerman is more than a contract extension — it’s a declaration of intent.
