A Castleford Tigers forward has announced his testimonial for 2026 after 15 seasons of top level rugby league.

Brad Singleton only signed with Castleford Tigers this year, joining early in the season from struggling Salford Red Devils as one of the first of many who would leave the club.

He was joined at Castleford by fellow Salford man Chris Atkin and whilst the pair certainly had a better season than those at Salford, it still proved to be a tough year for the Tigers as they finished eleventh in Super League.

Singleton would make 21 appearances for the Tigers but it’s Castleford where he will have his testimonial after being granted one for his service to the game, having first debuted in 2011.

Starting his career with Leeds Rhinos, Singleton would play from 2011 to 2019 in Blue and Amber as he made 178 appearances before an unsuccessful switch to expansion side Toronto.

He landed on his feet though, signing with Wigan where he’d lift the Challenge Cup and League Leaders Shield before joining Salford, initially on loan in late 2023, and then permanently.

Castleford Tigers prop Brad Singleton granted testimonial

Across the years, he’s racked up 269 appearances in Super League and heading into his age 33 season, it’s feasible that he makes it to the 300-game mark.

Confirming his testimonial via his social media, Singleton shared a short message accompanied with a video.

The caption read: “Proud and grateful to be granted a testimonial. Started at Barrow Island with nothing but a love for rugby that love took me to Leeds, Wigan, Salford & Castleford. To my family, my dad, Jade & our boys… thank you for everything. This game’s given me everything and more.”

Within the video, he explained: “I’ve been really fortunate to be granted a service to the game three months testimonial, so December, January and February.

“I think for me and the family, it’s great. To do it over this side having spent ten years in Yorkshire, so do it as Cas, I’m over the moon really.

“Proudest moment, I think every club has got a different story and I’ve thoroughly enjoyed it all. Obviously, the trophies early on with Leeds then going to Toronto and it going bust so picking up at Wigan and getting the League Leaders and Challenge Cup.

“Then onto Salford and Cas and I know this year has been hard for us but as a group we’ve probably struggled but we know the bigger picture of what’s happening.

“It’s been one of the hardest years of my career but it stands me in good stead for 2026.”

Further details on Singleton’s testimonial will come in due course with Castleford having already confirmed one pre-season fixture against Oldham.
