Castleford could offer Jacques O’Neill a new contract after his dramatic exit from Love Island as the club confirmed he had been in communication with them and visited the First Team.
O'Neill had been released from his contract with the Super League side last month so he could go on the show and has also reportedly signed with FOMO Models. However, Tigers boss Lee Radford suspects the new reality show star will decide to chase the money instead. He said: “I think he will want to make a couple of million first and then dip his toe back into rugby league.”
The 23-year-old hooker joined up with his former Cas team-mates yesterday, just hours after his tearful exit from the ITV2 Love Island villa. Radford added: “He was in chatting to the boys who were all pleased to see him. He looked jaded and as if he’d had no sleep.”
