Higgins signs new Castleford deal

Liam Higgins
Higgins started his senior career with Hull FC

Prop Liam Higgins has agreed a new one-year deal with Castleford Tigers, which will keep him at the Jungle for the 2009 season.

The 25-year-old joined the Tigers from Hull FC in 2007, helping the club win promotion from National League One.

Higgins said: "I'm glad to have agreed a new deal, I have enjoyed playing a full season in Super League.

"It's been a tough year but I feel that we are improving and we will kick on next season."

Tigers' head coach Terry Matterson said: "I am pleased that Liam has agreed a new deal and I look forward to working on improving his game.

"He has played in all but one game this season and I feel that with another season under his belt will continue to get better.

"Liam is a popular member of our squad and his signing will be well received by his peers."
