List of Castleford Tigers players

The Castleford Tigers (known as Castleford RLFC until 1996) are an English rugby league club who have competed in the British rugby league system since 1926.

Notes

The players named A. N. Other are likely to be trialists from rugby union whose identities were being protected to prevent the player from facing a life-time ban from rugby union in the era prior to 1995 when rugby union was strictly amateur, and any association with rugby league was considered an act of professionalism.
