Castleford Tigers say they have accepted a "significant undisclosed sum" for half-back Luke Gale.

The former Man of Steel is set to be unveiled as a Leeds Rhinos player today (Tuesday) and Tigers confirmed they have "already secured his replacement".

Leeds-born Gale joined Tigers from Bradford Bulls in 2015 and made more than 100 appearances for the club, being named Man of Steel in 2017.

He has not played this year due to an Achilles injury.
