Former Dragons winger suddenly exits Castleford
English Super League club Castleford Tigers have announced the departure of former St George Dragons winger Mikaele Ravalawa.

He managed 13 games this year, recording five tries before the conclusion of his time at Castleford.

Ravalawa has scored 67 tries across just over 100 NRL games, with a brief stint at the Rabbitohs in 2025 before heading to the Northern Hemisphere.
