Castleford Tigers 2013 squad numbers

Returning centre Michael Shenton has been named the new Castleford captain, as coach Ian Millward revealed his squad numbers for 2013.

Shenton, who has re-joined the club after two years with St Helens, will line-up alongside another new recruit, Jake Webster, in the centres next season.

Other new signings Lee Gilmour and Weller Hauraki pair up in the starting second row numbers, winger Justin Carney has number two and half-back Jamie Ellis has seven.

Head Coach Ian Millward said: “The players have been training hard but there’s no hiding from the fact that we ideally need extra depth – we are on the lookout for new additions to the squad but this is subject to club finances being available to enable us to recruit further.

“I have been very impressed with Michael’s attitude and willingness to contribute in training so far. As a former England international he has made a big statement returning to Castleford and I believe he will be a great captain for us.”
