Rowley joins after Carr leaves

Castleford confirmed the appointment following Ryan Carr's departure for personal reasons in August. The club finished second bottom in Super League with eight wins from 27 games last season.

Previous coaching roles listed

Rowley previously managed Salford Red Devils and St Helens before this move to West Yorkshire. He led Salford into the play-offs in both 2022 and 2024 during his tenure there.

Club hopes for improvement

Director Chris Chester stated that Rowley has a proven track record of building competitive teams. The Tigers hope he can rejuvenate the squad after missing out on the play-offs since 2019.
