Castleford Tigers have signed highly-rated Toulouse Olympique forward Tyla Hepi on a one-year deal for 2020.

The New Zealand-born prop started out at Hull KR, playing a handful of games for them, but has also featured with Wyong Roos, Auckland’s Point Chevalier Pirates and Whitehaven.

He is the son of former Hull FC and Featherstone Rovers player Brad Hepi who also represented Castleford in 1999 and again two years later.
