ALEX MELLOR is proving a key figure in Castleford's revival and enjoying his best run of form for years.
But he attributes his recent impact for the Tigers to his life away from rugby league trading goods and services online.
The highly-rated back-rower will aim to help Craig Lingard's men to a fourth straight Super League win at Salford today.
Mellor said: "I've set up a couple of businesses which have given me another focus outside of the game.
"I've got an e-commerce business, which I spend a hell of a lot of time on.
"It's constant every day and even at training I'll be sorting stuff out! "It's buying and selling wholesale Amazon FBA - and I really like doing it.
