Every Super League club’s dual-registration partners heading into 2025 season

Several clubs in Super League have already announced their dual-registration partners for next season.

The dual-registration rule, which was first introduced in 2013, is a pathway that many top-flight clubs use to get players more experience or game time at a higher level than they are used to playing: or if regular first-team players are coming back from injury.

When a player goes on dual-registration, they will be eligible to play and train with both clubs. The player will be restricted to play in one fixture per scheduled round in any given week and would not be eligible to play twice over the same weekend.

Here, Love Rugby League provides you with a club-by-club guide to every Super League club’s stance on dual-reg for 2025 – with this article to be updated as and when more agreements are announced…

Castleford Tigers

The Tigers were partnered with Batley Bulldogs in 2024 given their connections between previous Castleford coach Craig Lingard and his former club Batley: but that agreement has now ended. Castleford also linked up with Newcastle Thunder last season. At the time of writing, the Tigers do not have a confirmed partner for 2025.

Catalans Dragons

The Dragons have been on dual-reg terms with Championship heavyweights Toulouse Olympique for a couple of years now. Nothing has yet been announced in regards to taking the agreement into 2025: but you suspect they will given they are the only full-time professional clubs in France.

Huddersfield Giants

Luke Robinson’s Giants have linked up with Hunslet, who will compete in the Championship next season after winning promotion from League 1. Huddersfield youngster George Flanagan enjoyed a loan spell with the Parksiders last term.

Hull FC

Hull KR

The Robins have yet to confirm any dual-reg partnerships for 2025 – but they had links with League 1 side Keighley Cougars and Championship outfit Featherstone Rovers in 2024.
