Cas extend Williams loan spell

Warrington have extended the loan spell of winger Rhys Williams at Castleford and allowed James Laithwaite to join Hull KR for a month.

Williams initially joined the Tigers for a month but will now make his fifth appearance for them in Monday's Stobart Super League match at Widnes.

The 20-year-old academy back-row forward Laithwaite has returned from a dual registration at Championship club Leigh and is hoping to make his Super League debut for Hull KR.

"This will give James a step up into the Stobart Super League, providing him with an opportunity to build up some professional game-time in the top-flight competition," said a Warrington spokesman.

Another Warrington Under-20s player, centre James Mendeika, will take Laithwaite's place at Leigh Centurions on dual registration terms.
