Castleford Tigers have recruited former Leeds Rhinos prop forward Ryan Bailey until the end of the season.

Bailey has been without a club since leaving Hull KR for personal reasons last month after making just one appearance for the Craven Park outfit.

The 30-year-old's deal includes an option for the club to extend for a further two years.

"I'm really excited to be joining Castleford Tigers," he said. "I’ve been really impressed with the set-up here and I'm confident I'll fit in well at this family club.

"I really like the work [head coach] Daryl [Powell] is doing here and I'm looking forward to getting down to business and pushing for a place in the team,

"I want to put my reputation behind me now and start afresh and I hope the fans here get behind me.

"Having played here at the Jungle the atmosphere is always immense and I can’t wait to pull on the shirt and get out there."
