Barrow Raiders can confirm that prop forward Razor Silva has left the club with immediate effect, allowing him to take up a full-time opportunity with Betfred Super League side Castleford Tigers.
Silva first joined the Raiders ahead of the 2024 season and made 22 appearances during his debut year, scoring twice.
Having quickly established himself as a key member of the Raiders’ forward pack, Silva was rewarded with a new two-year deal back in September.
The Sao Paulo-born front-rower was a popular figure on the terraces and was handed the number 10 shirt by head coach Paul Crarey ahead of the 2025 campaign.
While disappointed to lose a player of such quality, we understand Silva’s desire to return to a Super League environment and wish him well for the future.
Barrow Raiders head coach Paul Crarey said: “Although it’s disappointing to lose a player of Ramon’s quality, it’s also fantastic for us as coaches to see lads progress into the Super League arena.
“Since he joined the club, we as coaching staff have been more than happy to help him out, doing extras on non-training nights.
“Ramon has been like a sponge in his quest to be the best he can be, and it’s been a pleasure to coach him and help him realise his dream of full-time rugby.
“We all wish him all the very best and look forward to watching him in Super League.”
