Castleford forward Mitch Clark returns to Featherstone on loan

Featherstone have re-signed Mitch Clark on loan following a short spell back with parent club Castleford.

The 25-year-old prop first joined the Rovers in January and has signed an agreement that will see him stay with Featherstone on loan for the foreseeable future.

Clark, who has scored two tries in seven games for Featherstone, can be recalled by the Tigers following an initial 28-day period at 24 hours’ notice.

On making a return to the Rovers, Clark said: “I really enjoyed my initial spell with Featherstone and am looking forward to kicking on and showing what I can do as a Rovers player.

“The added game-time will be good for me and it is a privilege to be playing with a fantastic set of players at a top Championship club.

“Featherstone are aiming high this year and I know the boys want to achieve something special.”

John Duffy, Featherstone head coach, added: “We are absolutely delighted to have Mitch back on board with us and look forward to working with him once again.

“I would like to take this opportunity to thank Daryl Powell and Jon Wells for allowing the deal to happen.

“Although our squad is packed full of high-quality players, we have certainly missed Mitch’s attitude and passion over the Easter period.

“It will be great to see him back out there this weekend as we face the tough challenge of a trip to Barrow.”
