KRYSTIAN MAPAPALANGI is set to sign a new deal with Castleford Tigers, head coach Ryan Carr has hinted.
The former Newcastle Knights centre has lit up Super League after making the move to The Jungle ahead of the 2026 Super League season.
Mapapalangi’s partnership with winger Jason Qareqare continues to grow and the former has piqued the interest of clubs on both sides of the world.
However, Carr has hinted that a new deal for the 23-year-old is just around the corner.
“We are very close to that and hopefully we will have some news on that in the coming days,” Carr said.
“I’ve got a great relationship with Krystian and I love working with him.
“It’s hard to talk about where we are heading but it’s good and hopefully we can secure his services moving forward.”
