Castleford Tigers have signed Fiji winger Mikaele Ravalawa on a three-year deal starting next season.
The 27-year-old will move to the Mend-a-Hose Jungle from St George Illawarra, where he has spent the last six years, ahead of the 2026 campaign.
Ravalawa has five caps for his country, the last in 2023, and scored 67 tries in 98 NRL appearances for St George, over six seasons.
The move means the player will link up again with Ryan Carr, who has been St George assistant coach since 2023 but will take over as head coach at Cas next season.
Castleford Tigers director of rugby Chris Chester, acting as coach until Carr arrives, said on Thursday that “a little bit of rot” had set in to his squad after they were thrashed by Leigh Leopards.
“I think this signing shows how serious we are as a club to get things right on the field for 2026,” he said.
“Mika has a high work rate, great yardage carry and is also a proven try scorer at the highest level.”
