Ashley Robson signs contract extension with Castleford Tigers

Castleford's teenage winger Ashley Robson has signed a two-year contract extension that will keep him at the club until at least the end of 2017.

Robson, 19, who joined the Tigers from Leeds' academy, made his Super League debut at Salford in April when he scored the match-winning try.

Castleford coach Daryl Powell said: "Ash Robson has proved during his time in the first-team squad this year that he is going to be an excellent player in the future both at full-back and on the wing.

"His attitude is first class and I am confident he will continue to develop over the next two years. I am delighted he has agreed to continue his development with Castleford Tigers."

Robson said: “I was absolutely buzzing when I found out, I am really happy. There’s a few of us young players here and they just make us feel like one of their own as do the fans and the coaching team.”
