Having firmly established himself in Castleford's first team, Milner made 21 appearances and scored 3 tries in the 2012 season.
2013 was Milner's highest scoring season yet for Castleford, with 7 tries in 23 appearances. In August, he signed a two-year contract extension until the end of 2016, saying, "As soon as I got the contract offer I didn't think twice about signing it."{{Cite news|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-league/23880029|title=Adam Milner extends Castleford Tigers contract|date=2013-08-29|work=BBC Sport|access-date=2020-04-26|language=en-gb}} Head coach Daryl Powell said, "both his attacking game and his toughness in defence are developing every week and I know he will continue to work hard to achieve his undoubted potential."
Milner was awarded for his consistent performances at hooker with squad number 9 for the 2014 season.{{Cite web|url=https://www.loverugbyleague.com/post/castleford-tigers-2014-squad-numbers/|title=Castleford Tigers 2014 squad numbers|date=2013-12-19|website=Love Rugby League|language=en-GB|access-date=2020-04-26}} He made a further 25 appearances and scored 3 tries to help Castleford to a 4th placed finish in Super League.
