Whitehaven Rugby League have signed prop forward Woody Walker on a short-term loan from Castleford Tigers.

The 19-year-old joins the club on a one-week deal to help bolster the squad amid injury troubles.

Walker made six appearances last season while on loan at Newcastle Thunder.

James Newton, head coach at Whitehaven, said: "We needed a player to get 18 players together, we're at bare bones and bruised and battered at the moment.

"I'd like to thank Woody and Castleford, he's trained with us tonight (Thursday) and hopefully will be raring to go come Sunday."
