Former NRL winger Mikaele Ravalawa has been recalled from loan and is set to make his Castleford Tigers comeback at Hull FC on Friday.

The Fijian international joined Betfred Championship outfit Doncaster in a surprise move last month, but was today (Wednesday) named in Tigers’ 21-man squad for the visit to Hull. Half-back Tom Weaver is back in contention following concussion and rookie back Daniel Sarbah has also been called up.

They replace Fletcher Rooney, Corey Sharpe and Alfie Salmon who were unused members of the squad for Tigers’ home defeat by Hull KR last week. Hull’s former Castleford coach Andy Last has made four changes to his initial group.
