LEIGH Leopards have signed Brad Martin from Castleford Tigers on a two-year contract.

Martin, 23, has made 40 appearances for the Tigers after making his Super League debut four years ago.

Leopards’ head of rugby Chris Chester said: “Brad is a prop or lock forward who has gained good experience at Castleford, and I’m delighted he is joining us for 2025.

“Brad is a good, all round, solid player and a good human being. He has a bright future at Leigh Leopards.”

Pontefract born, Martin came up through the ranks of Dewsbury Moor community club and spent four years in the Leeds Rhinos academy ranks.

He joined the Tigers in 2020 in a bid to earn first-team opportunities and made a late season debut against Hull KR. He went on to become a regular member of the first team squad and furthered his experience with dual registration spells at Midlands Hurricanes.

Martin played off the bench in Tigers’ 28-28 draw at the Leopards Den in Round 10 and made his final Tigers’ appearance in Round 26 at St Helens.
