Laravel- Redirect User after register

Question

I am trying to create a new user and it's record in user_info table, all the database entries are being made but I am seeing this error when I try to route the newly registered user.

Argument 1 passed to Illuminate\Auth\SessionGuard::login() must implement interface Illuminate\Contracts\Auth\Authenticatable, instance of Illuminate\Http\RedirectResponse given, called in /var/www/myproject/vendor/laravel/framework/src/Illuminate/Foundation/Auth/RegistersUsers.php on line 35 and defined

My controller is

    <?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers\Auth;

use App\User;
use App\UserInfo;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Auth;
use Validator;
use App\Http\Controllers\Controller;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\RegistersUsers;


class RegisterController extends Controller
{
    /*
    |--------------------------------------------------------------------------

    |
    | This controller handles the registration of new users as well as their
    | validation and creation. By default this controller uses a trait to

    use RegistersUsers;

    /**

To change the redirect URL, you need to edit this line:

protected $redirectTo = '/home';

Your create function needs to return the array from the "create" method.

protected function create(array $data)
{
    $dateString =   $data['year'].'-'.$data['month'].'-'.$data['day'];
    $date=date_create($dateString);

    $dateString =    date_format($date, 'Y-m-d');

    //send mail to user to notify, account has been created
    $to =   $user->email;
    $from   =   "[email protected]";
    $msg    =   "Welcome! This is free for Mobile, Tablets and Computers. Listen and create the right messge with your music, where ever you are";
    $subject    =   "Welcome to Telatunes";
    mail($to, $subject, $msg);
    //create record in user info
    $userInfo   =   UserInfo::create([
        'user_id'   =>  $user->id,
        'address'   =>  '',
        'date_of_birth'  =>  $dateString,
        'zipcode'   =>  '',
        'country_id'    =>  0,
        'state_id'  =>  0,
        'city_id'   =>  0,
        'profile_pic_path'  =>  '',
        'gender'    =>  'male'
    ]);


    return User::create([
        'username'  =>  $data['username'],
        'email' =>  $data['email'],
        'uuid'  =>  $this->getRandomString(),
        'password'  =>  bcrypt($data['password']),
        'user_type' =>  2,
        'status'    =>  'active'
    ]);
}

The $lastInsertId variable could have been an issue but it turns out you're not using it, so I've removed it.
