"We have an ambitious plan": Castleford Tigers respond to Russell Crowe investment rumours
The 60 year old is already co-owner of the National Rugby League team South Sydney Rabbitohs.
Castleford Tigers Director of Rugby Danny Wilson has confirmed talks are ongoing with 'a number of parties' over potential investment into the Super League side.
It comes amid reports Oscar winning actor Russell Crowe is interested in putting money into the West Yorkshire club.
The 60 year old is already co-owner of the National Rugby League team South Sydney Rabbitohs.
In a statement, Wilson said: "As a club there are a number of conversations going on with a number of parties nationally and internationally, and we do not want to comment on those.
"We have made no secret of the fact that the club is seeking new investment, we have an ambitious plan to take Castleford forwards and we are investigating working with like-minded people and investors who love the game of rugby league, want to grow the sport and be part of something exciting".
Crowe has already taken an interest in sport in West Yorkshire, taking a minority stake in Leeds United last year.
