Announces his retirement.

Always gave 100% in a Cas shirt and scored some great tries over the years.

A sad day for Cas. All the best Dicko.

Just seen this and it is such a shame for him and your club.

As an ex FC player i've always looked out for him and he never seemed to let you down.

Good luck Kirk in whatever you do next.

A solid professional and a great servant to the club and he will be missed. Always had time for the fans in good years and bad - his try against Wigan in the quarter final last year (pass from Jake Webster) was my try of the season.

All the best to Kirk Dixon.

His goal kick against wakey will stand out as a great Dicko moment too. Aswell as his leap to the corner against them in millenium magic. Quality finisher and a shame it's ended earlier than expected

Steadiness personified. Always seemed to give his best, on & off the pitch, you can't ask for more.

His 4 against WTW at Magic must be on his highlight reel.

I liked his backpeddling for Ryan Hall's try in the cup final. On a serious note, major respect to him not taking a wage for seven months and freeing up some salary cap for his team.

Dicko had a poor game in that final but was sensational in the semi v Widnes and last 8 v Wigan. Ryan hall is supposedly the worlds best winger so there's no shame in that.

I suppose this mean that you will want Richard Owen back now, it's your own fault if he turns you down and stays with us

I doubt he come back now he is stealing a wage for 3 years at WTW.
