With three serious injuries and just one game in over two years, it’s no wonder Castleford’s Sosaia Feki felt his move to Super League was jinxed.
His luck was so rotten, the frustrated Tonga winger even considered packing in completely after his switch from Cronulla turned sour. But relieved Feki, 30, is now on the comeback trail and ready to make up for lost time. He safely negotiated a Castleford reserves game recently and has now joined neighbouring Championship club Featherstone on a two-week loan to build up fitness.
It hopefully puts an end to his horror run of injuries which left stricken Feki fearing the worst. He tore a calf in a friendly in January 2020 and didn’t make his competitive Cas debut until a Challenge Cup tie against Hull eight months later. However, the prolific Aucklander then suffered a knee injury after just 24 minutes and was ruled out for the rest of the campaign.
