Forward Jack Ashworth has joined Leigh Leopards from Castleford Tigers with immediate effect, signing a contract until the end of the 2028 season.
Samoa international forward Lazarus Vaalepu has gone in the opposite direction, joining Castleford from Leigh on loan for the rest of the season.
Ashworth, 31, joined Cas from Hull FC at the start of the season and made 10 first-team appearances, as well as having a spell on loan at Doncaster.
Ashworth returns to Leigh where he played on loan in 2021 after starting his career with St Helens while he also spent three seasons with Huddersfield Giants.
Leigh director of rugby Andrew Henderson told the club website: "Jack is a tough, experienced player, who knows what it takes at Super League level. He brings physicality and a real team-first mentality."
