Castleford Tigers’ versatile star Tex Hoy has finally addressed swirling rumours linking him with a move away from Wheldon Road.
The 25-year-old utility back originally joined the Tigers from Hull FC, first on loan before securing a permanent two-year deal in June last year. Since his arrival, Hoy has become a consistent figure in the Castleford line-up, making 34 appearances, scoring 13 tries, and kicking 18 goals in the famous black and amber.
Known for his adaptability and attacking flair, Hoy has covered several backline positions, earning plaudits from teammates and fans alike for his energy and commitment on the field.
However, speculation over his future has intensified in recent weeks. With Castleford preparing for a major squad reshuffle under new boss Ryan Carr, several players have been linked with possible exits. Hoy’s name has been among those attracting interest, with reports suggesting both Super League and overseas clubs are monitoring the situation closely.
In response, Hoy has now spoken out, dismissing the rumours and reaffirming his commitment to the Tigers.
“I have settled in here and love this place with all my heart, and I don’t wish to leave,” Hoy said. “It’s normal for rumours to fly around, especially with so many players coming into the team and a new coach in charge. But for me, it feels like a fresh start for everyone, and I want to be part of this great rebuild and enjoy what’s to come.”
Hoy’s comments will no doubt provide reassurance to Castleford supporters, many of whom view him as a key figure in the club’s ongoing rebuild. His determination to stay and fight for his place under Carr reflects a sense of unity that the Tigers are hoping to foster as they look to climb the Super League table in 2026.
For now, Hoy’s message is clear: despite the rumours, his focus remains firmly on Castleford Tigers and the future ahead.
