“I’m over the moon to be signing a new contract with Castleford,” Holmes said.
“It’s been a difficult couple of years for me with injuries but I’m back fit now.
“I’m glad Cas have had faith in me and offered me another contract because it was one of the easiest decisions I’ve ever made to sign.
“Cas is all I’ve known since I left school so I’m happy to be continuing my career here at the Jungle.”
Castleford coach Daryl Powell said: “Oliver Holmes has been an outstanding servant of the Tigers from a very young age and I’m absolutely delighted that he’s going to continue his time with the club.
“He is one of our toughest and most consistent performers and I’m looking for him to continue to improve in the coming years and achieve his rich potential as a player.”
