Castleford Tigers bring in Warrington Wolves loanee as new signing departs

Castleford Tigers have signed young prop Daniel Okoro on loan from Warrington Wolves, whilst new signing Kieran Hudson has left the club to pursue another opportunity.

Nigeria international Okoro linked up with the Tigers earlier this week – with a view to securing a season-long loan deal at the Jungle.

The 21-year-old joined Warrington from Bradford Bulls last April on a deal until the end of the season: but he has yet to make a first-team appearance for Sam Burgess’ side.

Okoro was loaned back to Bradford last season, playing 11 games for the Bulls whilst he also had a game on loan at Swinton Lions.

The 6ft 4in front-rower will look to gain regular minutes in Super League with the Tigers in the short-term.

The Hull KR academy product is a like-for-like replacement for fellow prop Hudson, who has left the club to pursue another opportunity despite only returning to Castleford earlier this pre-season after being granted a release from Leeds Rhinos.

“Unfortunately, the club can also confirm that Kieran Hudson has left the club by mutual consent,” a club press release read.

“After a long discussion with Kieran about his goals for the future and our ambitions for the squad, he expressed a desire to pursue his future with another club. We wish Kieran all the best for the next stage of his career.”

Hudson never made a first-team appearance for Castleford or Leeds but has 24 senior career appearances to his name Newcastle Thunder, Midlands Hurricanes, Whitehaven and Halifax Panthers.
