Cornwall take Midlands forward Mkuhlani on loan

Courage Mkuhlani is the second forward to join on loan in recent weeks

Cornwall have signed Midlands Hurricanes forward Courage Mkuhlani on a month's loan.

The 20-year-old former Castleford Tigers youngster moved to Midlands in the summer having played twice on a dual-registration deal at the League One club last season.

Mkuhlani was 18th man when Hurricanes thrashed Cornwall 72-6 last month.

He will not be eligible for the return fixture between the sides on 12 May.

"We are still a bit banged up in that area of the park ahead of the game against Rochdale on Sunday," head coach Mike Abbott told the club website.

"Courage is a player that was at Wakefield and Castleford so we are excited to see what he can do in a Cornwall shirt."

The club have also extended the loan of Batley Bulldogs' prop Josh Rhodes until the end of the season.

Rhodes joined on an initial two-week deal last month.
