Castleford second-rower Oliver Holmes has agreed a new two-year contract with the club.

Holmes' contract was set to expire at the end of the season but he has followed team-mate Adam Milner in pledging his future to the Tigers until at least the end of 2018.

"I'm really happy to have committed my future to my home-town club," said the 23-year-old, who has made more than 100 appearances since signing for Castleford in 2008.
