MIKAELE RAVALAWA and Aiden Doolan have left Castleford Tigers with immediate effect.
Winger Ravalawa had two years left on his contract, whilst young hooker Doolan was contracted for another year, but the pair both failed to impress.
Fijian international Ravalawa joined Castleford ahead of the 2025 season from St George Illawarra Dragons but saw his time at the club hampered by injuries and poor form, limiting him to just 15 appearances for the Tigers, and two on loan for Doncaster in the Championship.
His departure officially brings the club down to ten quota players, but they have been heavily linked with a move for Canterbury Bulldogs forward Jack Todd that would take them back to eleven.
Doolan, meanwhile, fell further down the pecking order at nine following the high-profile arrival of Damien Cook.
He saw opportunities limited at Castleford, whom he joined ahead of the season, instead finding game time on loan with Barrow Raiders, Hunslet and Widnes Vikings in the Championship.
