Castleford Tigers forward Adam Milner has signed a two-year contract extension with the club to maintain his status as one of rugby league's one-club men.

The 29-year-old from Wakefield came through the Tigers Academy before making his senior debut in Super League in July 2010 against Huddersfield Giants.

Milner has made over 250 appearances in the top-flight, featured in a Challenge Cup Final and a Grand Final, as well as lifting the League Leaders’ Shield in 2017.

“I’m buzzing to finally get my deal sorted,” Milner, who is enjoying his testimonial campaign, said.

“To remain a one-club man, which I really pride myself on, is a proud moment for myself and to get another two years at this fantastic club is something I hold really highly. I’m excited for what’s to come."

Milner has been a Tigers player for the entirety of Daryl Powell' s reign at the club, with the former Great Britain international set to move onto Warrington Wolves next year.

“He has taken my game to the next level, it’s not always been plain sailing with him, we’ve had our battles which he would probably say himself, but as a coach, there are not many coaches who can get the ultimate best out of your rugby career and I’m thankful for what he has done for me," continued Milner.

“In 2018 I got to represent my country which he had a massive helping hand in, along with him fellow coaching staff Ryan Sheridan and Danny Orr at the time, they did too. Everyone at this club has helped to get me to where I am.”
