Featherstone have completed the signing of Daniel Igbinedion from Super League neighbours Castleford.

The 22-year-old joined the Tigers prior to the start of the season and has impressed during a loan spell with Dewsbury Rams.

However, after agreeing a release from Castleford, Igbinedion has agreed a deal which will keep him at the LD Nutrition Stadium until the end of the current season.

Igbinedion said: “I’m really happy to be coming to Featherstone and am thankful for the opportunity the club has given me.

“The main reason I came here is because Featherstone are a competitive side, who will be going up against the big boys at the end of the season.

“I’m raring to go and cannot wait to get straight into it. I’m happy to play wherever Jon (Sharp) wants me to – and I will do a job.

“I’m very excited for what lies ahead and am determined to show what I can do when it comes round, hopefully, to playing against full-time Super League opposition.”
