CASTLEFORD TIGERS have confirmed the addition of Wakefield Trinity prop Renouf Atoni on a two-year deal.

New Zealander Atoni has spent the past three years with Wakefield after featuring in the NRL with Canterbury Bulldogs.

His time with Trinity brought 67 appearances, 12 tries and, after relegation in his first season, a trophy treble of Championship title, League Leaders’ Shield and 1895 Cup in 2024.

Tigers director of rugby Chris Chester said: “Renouf has been a stand-out performer for Wakefield and he will add size and power to our existing forward pack.

“I know Renouf will love his time working with (incoming head coach) Ryan Carr and playing for the Castleford Tigers over the next two years.”

Atoni is the club’s seventh addition for 2026 as Chester and Carr plot a rebuild following a disappointing eleventh-placed finish.

NRL recruits Brock Greacen, Blake Taaffe, Mikaele Ravalawa and Semi Valemei are joined by Hull FC duo Jordan Lane and Jack Ashworth.

Atoni, 30, said: “I jumped at the chance to come over. I’m really keen to get over and rip in.

“I know for a fact how passionate the fans are about the rebuild of the club.”
