The Tigers were seeking £500,000 for Solomona’s transfer, as he was contracted to them until 2018.
A statement from Tigers said: “Castleford Tigers believe the correct decision was made to bring this matter to a conclusion now.
“It not only means they are in pocket for a substantial sum of money, but the case has clearly proved that it is impermissible for a player to walk out on his contract without suffering a harsh financial penalty.”
