Jimmy Keinhorst: Castleford Tigers sign Hull KR centre plus Featherstone pair on loan

Jimmy Keinhorst has represented Germany in rugby league and rugby union

Castleford Tigers have signed centre Jimmy Keinhorst on a two-week loan from Hull Kingston Rovers.

The 31-year-old is available for Castleford's next two Super League games, at home to Huddersfield Giants on Monday, 2 August and away at Leeds Rhinos on Friday, 6 August.

Tigers have also signed Featherstone Rovers duo Jake Sweeting and Loui McConnell, both 21, on one-week loans.

Half-back Sweeting and loose forward McConnell can both play against Giants.

Castleford will be without several first-team players for Monday's match due to Covid-19 and return-to-play protocols.

But many of those absentees will be available for selection for the game with Leeds.
