GREAT NEWS From Head Coach, Star player Returns to Castleford Tigers After Productive Loan Spell.
Castleford Tigers have welcomed back young forward George Hill following the completion of his one-month loan deal with Salford Red Devils.
Hill, who joined the Red Devils to gain valuable first-team experience, made a strong impression during his short stint, showing maturity, work rate, and physicality that belied his years. The spell provided him with key minutes on the field, which will serve as a major boost as he returns to the Jungle ready to make an impact.
Head coach Danny McGuire praised Hill’s development during his time away, saying, “George has come back sharper and more confident. The experience he gained at Salford has been invaluable, and we’re excited to see how he continues to grow with us.”
With a renewed edge and a month of Super League action under his belt, Hill is expected to slot back into the squad and compete for a regular place as Castleford look to build momentum heading into the second half of the season.
Welcome back, George!
Hill originally signed for Castleford ahead of the 2024 season after impressing in the lower leagues, and the club has high hopes for his long-term future. The coaching staff believe that this loan spell was a vital part of his development, allowing him to test himself in high-pressure situations and gain confidence in his game.
His time at Salford not only added experience to his resume but also showcased his versatility and resilience, as he adapted quickly to a new environment and rose to the challenge of Super League intensity. Teammates and fans at Salford spoke highly of his attitude and commitment, traits that Castleford supporters will be eager to see on display once again.
As the Tigers prepare for a crucial run of fixtures, Hill’s return adds depth to the forward pack and provides McGuire with another exciting option in both attack and defence. The club is confident that this is just the beginning for George Hill as he looks to carve out a successful career in the top flight.
The Jungle is ready. Welcome back, George.
