One of the Tigers' #ONECLUB men, a proud product of the Tigers’ Academy and has given well over a decade of fantastic service to the Club.

As a youngster Adam was involved in the England youth sides and captained the England Academy in 2010 – the same year he made his senior Cas debut. Since then he has gone on to feature in over 250 matches for the Fords and is second in the list for most Super League appearances for the Club, with former captain Michael Shenton the only man in front of him.

The early stages of his career with Cas saw Milner at hooker, but one of his terrific attributes is his ability to play in a number of positions. Following the addition of Paul McShane, Adam moved to loose forward and shone particularly in the League Leaders’ Shield winning season of 2017, and in 2018 too – the year he earned a call up to the England Elite Performance Squad and featured in the test series victory over New Zealand.

One of the highlights of 2021 was Castleford getting to Wembley, and in the semi-final you could see just how much it meant to Adam Milner, passionately cheering with the Fords fans at the semi-final. Such passion and heart in the squad, alongside his versatility, saw him extend his contract with Cas for a further two years.

Adam will be once again looking to be involved heavily in the first team in 2023, and his versatility allows him to play at hooker and elsewhere in the back row.
