"I'm sure I'll make some great friends at Cas and I'm looking forward to it."
He added: "Hopefully I can get a starting shirt at Castleford and that will bring my best game out of me.
"I had a couple of weeks with [head coach] Daryl [Powell] at Featherstone and hopefully he liked what he saw when I was there."
