However, a two-year ban for a doping offence meant he never pulled on a Bulls' shirt before resuming his career in Huddersfield in 2006.
After two seasons with the Giants, the Leeds-born ace is set to return to Cas for four more years and is looking forward to lending his experience to a talented bunch of players.
"I'm relishing coming back at Cas and looking for a new challenge with the club," he said.
"They have top-six ambitions and are recruiting well with some good players coming on board. I will be looking to bring some additional leadership.
"There are already some top players at the club and some great youngsters.
"I hope that I can play my part in helping us to reach the heights that the club have achieved in the past."
