"I'm obviously moving to a cross-town rival but the team and the squad that we are building for next year is really exciting," he said.

"I am really excited, and I am glad to be here. I can't wait to meet all of my new teammates and get started for next season," Miller added to the club website., external

The half-back was a mainstay in the Wakefield side, as he scored 62 tries and kicked 17 goals and 10 drop-goals in his time there.

Castleford ended the 2022 Super League season in seventh, as they were beaten to a play-off spot by Leeds Rhinos on the final day of the regular season.
