Castleford Tigers have revealed Jacques O'Neill has quit the club to 'pursue another opportunity' with the 23-year-old set to join ITV reality show Love Island.

O'Neill was teased on Friday night's episode of the hit show and is set to debut on the programme on Sunday evening.

The Cumbrian star, who can operate at either hooker or loose forward, made his Super League debut in March 2019 against Hull KR and notched his first try later that season against London Broncos.

After making 11 appearances in his breakthrough campaign, he penned a new one-year deal and made a further 12 appearances in 2020, scoring two tries and being voted as League Express Young Player of the Year.

Last summer, O'Neill signed a fresh two-year deal at Wheldon Road but was hampered by a persistent hamstring injury, limiting him to just six appearances and seeing him miss the 2021 Challenge Cup final.

In a statement, the Tigers said: "Castleford Tigers can confirm that the club has agreed to release Jacques O’Neill from his contract to allow him to pursue another opportunity.
