\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\"\"\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n

Former Super League stalwart Adam Milner has issued a statement confirming that he\u2019s a free agent for 2027, insisting that he\u2019s keen to play on with the hooker currently stranded on 399 career appearances.<\/p>\n

Milner has played over 300 Super League games in his career, the vast majority of which came with Castleford Tigers who he played with between 2010 and 2023. A mid-season move to Huddersfield that year signalled the end of his time at Wheldon Road before he left the Giants at the end of 2024.<\/p>\n

Since then, he\u2019s been integral to the success of Oldham \u2013 playing 29 games in 2025 and 31 in 2026 \u2013 but he\u2019s now confirmed that he has left the Roughyeds, though he does not currently have a club for 2027.<\/p>\n

As such, Milner is currently sat on 399 career appearances with no clear guarantee that he will make his 400th, however, he\u2019s insistent that he will play on.<\/p>\n

Posting on social media, the former Grand Finalist, confirmed that whilst he\u2019s currently unclear on where his future may lie, he is clear that he wants to play on and surpass that 400-game milestone.<\/p>\n

\u201cThank you @roughyeds for the last 2 years. Been a mad couple of years but it\u2019s been a pleasure to wear the shirt and represent the club,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cHopefully, the club can keep building and moving in the right direction and I wish you all the success.\u201d<\/p>\n

As for himself and his future, he added: \u201cAs one chapter closes, I\u2019m not quite ready to say what comes next.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m still open to the right opportunity and keen to see what the future holds. What I do know is I can\u2019t finish on 399 appearances.\u201d<\/p>\n

A whopping 301 of those appearances came for Castleford with the remainder split between Huddersfield and Oldham but he\u2019s now on the market and available having left the Roughyeds.<\/p>\n
