Castleford Tigers head coach Ryan Carr has asserted his confidence that Jason Qareqare will be at the club in 2027 despite recent talk about his future.<\/p>\n

Qareqare is one of several players off-contract at Castleford<\/a> and he\u2019s recently been linked with York Knights, whose head coach Mark Applegarth admitted on Tuesday his admiration for the winger.<\/p>\n

Applegarth said: \u201cI\u2019m unable to shed any light on that (if Qareqare has signed) but if there is any news to share then I will make sure I share it on this press conference first.\u201d<\/p>\n

A day later and Carr was also asked about the winger and if there was an update on his future, responding: \u201cNo, mate. It\u2019s with his management and obviously our club.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re working through that but one thing I know is Jase has played his best footy he\u2019s ever played at the moment. He\u2019s in a great patch of form.\u201d<\/p>\n

Castleford Tigers boss talks off-contract stars as Jason Qareqare praised<\/p>\n

Qareqare has been one of the standouts for the Tigers in 2026 and Carr is under no illusion that the club are starting to see the best of the Fijian international.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cWhat goes into that (form), obviously his own performance, but the people around him and the relationships and the combinations that he\u2019s forming and our system that\u2019s helping bring out the best in his strengths as well.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s in a really good place. He\u2019s enjoying his footy here and we want to make that the case for the next few years.\u201d<\/p>\n

Pushed further on if he had any concern that Qareqare won\u2019t be at Castleford in 2027, Carr simply said: \u201cNot from my perspective, no.\u201d<\/p>\n

Another off-contract player who Carr lauded the praise on was stand-in captain Joe Stimson, with the head coach declaring: \u201cHe\u2019s been unreal. Great leader, great competitor, great person on and off the field.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe plays some really good footy, and yeah, he is off contract and things will get worked through with that bat the moment, he\u2019s just really focused on week-to-week and day-to-day and making sure he controls.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s what the team\u2019s been focussing on is what the individuals are focussing on at the moment, what they can control that\u2019s in front of them. This week, that\u2019s Catalans.\u201d<\/p>\n
