Castleford Tigers announced that head coach Ryan Carr will be absent from the club’s upcoming fixture against Hull KR this Friday, citing personal reasons. The club issued a statement clarifying that reports circulating on social media regarding the nature of his absence were inaccurate.
In Carr’s absence, three members of the club’s coaching staff will assume leadership responsibilities. Chris Chester, Scott Murrell, and Rob Nickolay will oversee both on-field and off-field operations for the match. The club will receive additional support from Adrian Vowles, a former club legend and Man of Steel recipient, who volunteered his assistance on short notice.
Castleford indicated they would not provide further commentary on the situation at this time and called upon supporters to rally behind the team for the upcoming match. The Tigers currently occupy ninth position in the Super League standings with seven victories from 21 games played. Six matches remain on their schedule, featuring opponents Hull FC, St Helens, Catalans Dragons, Bradford Bulls, and Huddersfield Giants in addition to the Hull KR fixture.
Carr, an Australian coach, assumed his position in pre-season under a three-year contract. Prior to joining Castleford, he served as head coach of Featherstone Rovers and held an assistant manager role at Leeds Rhinos in 2019.
