Ferres signs new three-year deal with hometown club Castleford
Castleford second row Brett Ferres has signed a new three-year contract with the Tigers.
The 23-year-old had two years remaining on his previous deal but has now agreed
amended terms and removed a get-out clause from his contract.
Ferres joined his hometown club prior to the start of the season having had previous spells with Bradford and Wakefield.
I'm staying: Brett Ferres has signed an extension to his Castleford contract
Ferres, who has made 18 appearances and scored eight tries this season, is now
committed to The Jungle until the end of the 2012 campaign.
Coach Terry Matterson said: 'I have been very impressed with his efforts since joining the club, he is very professional in everything that he does and I'm sure that he isn't too far away from a recall to the England squad.'
Ferres made four appearances for England in 2006.
Meanwhile, Catalans Dragons have signed French Test prop Sebastien Martins from Pia until the end of the season.
The 23-year-old Martins, who was in the French team beaten 66-12 by England last month, played for Catalans in the inaugural season in 2006.
'The engage Super League is a very exciting championship and I look forward to playing again in the Catalans jersey,' he said.
The Dragons have loaned second row forward Florian Quintilla to Championship club Toulouse Olympique for the rest of the season.
