Feather, 26, has been plagued by injuries since joining the Bulls from Leeds at the end of 2006 and has agreed a one-year deal with the Tigers.

Having begun his career at Wakefield, the prop spent four years at Headingley before joining Bradford in 2006 and he bolsters the squad at Castleford who finished bottom of the Super League this season.

Tigers coach Terry Matterson said: "I am really pleased to have Chris on board, he is the sort of player we have been looking for.

"He is big and strong and very mobile and will give our pack some real strength and stature."

Feather is relishing the prospect of joining Matterson's side.

He said: "I have had a couple of steady years with Bradford but been a bit unlucky with injuries, but I'm fully fit now, ready to get stuck into a good pre-season, and looking forward to playing some regular rugby.

"I am pleased that Terry has given me this chance. He seems really switched on and has signed well for the coming season and I'm sure that the Tigers can go really well."
