Richardson departs for KR

Castleford Tigers can confirm the departure of Danny Richardson to Hull Kingston Rovers on loan until the end of the season.

Richardson played 51 times in a Cas shirt, scoring 5 tries, 150 goals and 7 drop goals.

On the departure, Danny Wilson said,

“Obviously, the rise of Rowan Milnes and how he’s been playing has kept Danny out the squad. Danny came in and asked if he could be released so he could go and play. He’s a good kid. We’ve an option in his contract that we won’t be taking next year anyway, so it’s only right we look to move quickly to allow him to get an opportunity. One came up with Hull KR so it’s only right that he explores that.”

“We’re really confident in Rowan and we’ve got two brilliant halves in the Academy so if they need to be called upon, we’d be happy to do that.”

“Danny leaving frees up some budget too, as we’ve made clear we’re always looking to strengthen the squad so that’s something we are still looking to explore.”
