Castleford sign experienced Salford half-back Atkin

Chris Atkin made five Super League appearances for Salford this season

Castleford Tigers have signed half-back Chris Atkin from financially stricken Super League rivals Salford.

The 32-year-old scored 17 tries in 110 appearances for the Red Devils after joining from Hull KR in 2019.

"Thank you to the fans, players and staff for everything. Salford will always feel like home for me and my family, and hold a special place in our lives," he told the Salford website.

Cas, who won their second game of the season against lowly Huddersfield on Saturday, have not disclosed the length of Atkin's contract.
