Castleford release Charlie Martin

Castleford have released Charlie Martin, after the forward’s recent struggles to make it into the Tigers’ first team.

Martin, 22, looked set for a bright future during his time in the club’s academy, but injury meant that he had to sit out the whole of 2012.

Despite going on to make his debut against St Helens last season, he has since only made five more appearances.

During his time at the Mend-A-Hose Jungle, Martin has also had stints at Championship sides Keighley and Featherstone.
