PAPUA NEW GUINEA INTERNATIONAL GARRY LO HAS BEEN RELEASED BY CASTLEFORD AFTER MAKING JUST ONE APPEARANCE FOR THE BETFRED SUPER LEAGUE CLUB.
The 24-year-old winger joined the Tigers in the close season on a two-year contract from Betfred Championship club Sheffield Eagles and made his debut against Wigan Warriors in April.
Lo was stood down by Castleford five days later, on the eve of what would have been his home debut, after it emerged that he was voluntarily assisting police with an inquiry.
Now the player has requested to be released from his contract with immediate effect and the club have agreed.
Yesterday the club received a request from Garry Lo’s representative to be released from his contract with the club to allow him to focus on a personal matter.
The club has agreed to this. There will be no further comment from the Club.
In a brief statement, Castleford said: “Today the club received a request from Garry Lo’s representative to be released from his contract with the club to allow him to focus on a personal matter.“The club has agreed to this. There will be no further comment from the club.
”Lo, who was in the Papua New Guinea team that lost to England in the 2017 World Cup quarter-final in Melbourne last November, began the 2018 season on loan with his old club Sheffield, for whom he scored 33 tries in 28 Championship matches in 2017.
