Castleford Tigers hooker Liam Hood has signed a one-year contract extension until the end of 2027.

Liam Hood has signed a one-year extension to his contract at Castleford Tigers, keeping the 34-year-old Scotland international at the West Yorkshire club until the end of the 2027 Super League season. He is the second player the club have tied down for next season, following Ashton Golding's two-year extension signed the previous week.

Hood scored four tries in 17 appearances in all competitions during his first season with the Tigers, which was disrupted by injury. Director of rugby Chris Chester said Hood was 'an experienced player who brings composure, leadership and a winning mentality to our squad'.

Hood expressed frustration with his personal performance last season due to injuries and acknowledged the team's overall struggles, but noted that 'the club has made some great signings'. His contract extension comes as Castleford look to strengthen their squad for the coming campaign.
