Playing career
Tighe was brought into first-grade in 2005 during a run of injuries at the Newcastle club.[2] His first year in the NRL was successful, playing twenty games and scoring fifty-two points. Tighe spent the majority of 2006 back in the premier league but secured an almost permanent position at centre during 2007.
