Alex Foster to leave Castleford Tigers at the end of the season
The 27 year old is the fifth player to announce his departure from the West Yorkshire club
Castleford have announced second rower Alex Foster will leave the club at the end of the season.
The 27-year-old former Leeds and London Broncos forward is the fifth player to announce his departure from the Tigers, with Grant Millington retiring and Oliver Holmes, Peter Mata'utia and Jesse Sene-Lefao leaving for pastures new.
Foster joined Castleford for trials in 2017 after a proposed move to Bradford collapsed when the Bulls went into liquidation.
He went on to earn a two-year contract before signing a further extension in 2018 and helped the club reach both the Challenge Cup final and Super League Grand Final, as well as lift the League Leaders' Shield in 2017.
"Playing for this club has meant everything," he said. "From the moment I came here to now, it has been incredible.
"What I have accomplished in the time I have had here, I never thought I would.
"I thought I would never play Super League again after leaving Leeds in the early part of my career. The opportunity that this club has given me has been incredible.
"It has been one hell of a journey and I am so thankful to everyone involved, from the coaching staff to the fans, my team-mates as well who have made my time here what it has been for me."
Castleford coach Daryl Powell, who is also leaving the club at the end of the season, said:
"We have built our club on good people and he absolutely 100 per cent fits that. He's been an absolute pleasure to coach."
