ROBBIE MULHERN has revealed that he is \u2018focused\u2019 on having a big year for Leigh Leopards after being linked with a move to Castleford Tigers as well as the NRL.<\/p>\n

League Express reported in December that Castleford had set their sights on the 31-year-old prop<\/a> following a stellar number of years at the top of the league.<\/p>\n

Mulhern has made 78 appearances for the Leopards since making the move from Warrington Wolves ahead of the 2023 Super League season.<\/p>\n

But, could 2026 be his last? The 31-year-old is out of contract at the end of the campaign.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve not thought about that, I\u2019m focused on this year and we\u2019ve not even played a game yet,\u201d Mulhern told\u00a0League Express.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m sure that will work itself out in due course but at the minute I\u2019m focused on playing for Leigh.\u201d<\/p>\n

Would Mulhern want to stay at Leigh?<\/p>\n

\u201cI would, but whatever happens will happen.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis if my fourth year here now and I\u2019m keeping an open mind so I\u2019m not sure what will happen.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf I do end up staying then that\u2019s great but if I don\u2019t then that\u2019s sport at the end of the day.\u201d<\/p>\n

The England international has also been linked with the NRL in recent months.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe NRL would be great, playing over there would be amazing but I don\u2019t know if that was just paper rumours.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf something materialised then that would be great but I\u2019m more than happy staying over here.\u201d<\/p>\n

The 31-year-old began his career with Leeds Rhinos, debuting in 2014 but went on to make only five appearances before heading for pastures new at Hull KR.<\/p>\n

At Craven Park, Mulhern made 90 appearances over a five-year spell with his performances earning him a big move to Warrington.<\/p>\n

47 appearances later and the Ireland international was snapped up by Leigh \u2013 where Castleford\u2019s current director of rugby, Chris Chester, was responsible for his signing.<\/p>\n
