Castleford Tigers have signed Featherstone Rovers prop Jimmy Beckett ahead of the 2026 Super League season.

The 26-year-old made 31 appearances for Featherstone last season, helping them to the Championship play-offs as well as the 1895 Cup final.

Prior to his time with Fev, Beckett has also had spells with Keighley Cougars, Oldham and Dewsbury Rams.

"It's my first time in a full-time setup so see how I'm going to progress, and that it's going to bring out the best in me," he said.

"Let's get after a successful 2026."

Cas director of rugby Chris Chester added: "Jimmy had a great year at Featherstone Rovers last year and he's a player that both myself and Ryan [Carr] think will really kick on here."
