Castleford Tigers have appointed Batley Bulldogs head coach Craig Lingard as assistant coach on a permanent deal, initially on a dual basis.
Once the Championship season is complete, Lingard will step aside at the Bulldogs to solely focus on his role alongside Tigers boss Andy Last.
The 45-year-old guided unfancied Batley to the 2022 Championship play-off final, where they lost to Leigh.
