He left Super League giants Leeds for a side who are now joint-bottom, but Castleford’s Jack Broadbent has no regrets whatsoever.
The England Knights utility-back, 22, faces his former club on Thursday for the first time since leaving Headingley. Castleford have lost all four games so far and seen boss Lee Radford sacked so they are in urgent need of a win at Wheldon Road. But Broadbent, limited to just 22 matches over three years at Leeds, said: “I feel like I've fitted in well.
“It’s not the start we’d wanted but when we can get over this hump and get our confidence back, I feel we can grow into this season more. Results need to change but I am really enjoying it here. I feel like I just needed a change of scenery to kick-start my regular first-team rugby. Coming to Cas and playing the first four games of the season, shows I’ve done that. I have got a fresh lease of life. It was one of those things.
