LEIGH Centurions have confirmed the signing of the vastly experienced back row forward Danny Tickle from Castleford Tigers.

Tickle, 33, will join the Centurions with immediate effect on a contract that runs up until the end of November 2017.

A product of the famous Golborne Parkside community club, Tickle's first professional club was Halifax, making his Super League debut as a teenager in 2000. He moved on to Wigan in 2002 and then spent seven seasons with Hull between 2007-13 before two years at Widnes Vikings in 2014-15. He joined Castleford in April 2016.

Few players can match Tickle's remarkable consistency and durability in top flight Rugby League and he is also recognised as a top class goal-kicker and regular try-scorer.

He has made a total of 378 Super League appearances comprising 42 for Halifax, 130 for Wigan, 164 for Hull, 34 for Widnes and 8 for Castleford, scoring a total of 92 tries and kicking 912 goals.
