Faumuina leaves Castleford

04 January 2009
The 28-year-old Faumuina, who joined the club on a 12-month contract at the start of the year and played in their first 21 League and Cup matches, has already returned to Australia after being dropped by Tigers coach Terry Matterson six weeks ago.
He departure is thought to be related to a breach of discipline but the club have declined to elaborate on the matter, insisting it is by mutual agreement.
The controversial Faumuina now faces an uncertain future after failing to repair a reputation damaged by previous brushes with authority.
He was sacked by New Zealand Warriors in 2006 following a series of alcohol-fuelled episodes and was last year given a final warning by North Queensland Cowboys after rolling his car in a single-vehicle accident.
A big disappointment during a three-match stint with Hull in 2005, Faumuina walked out on Harlequins despite signing a three-year contract on the eve of the 2007 season.
Meanwhile, 30-year-old Evans has signed a two-year deal with the Tigers and Wainwright, 28, has agreed a 12-month contract extension.
Matterson said: "Both are real professionals who always give 100% and both are popular members of the squad."
