A former Harlequins Rugby Union scrum-half, Wheeldon began his trial period with the club at the start of January and has been involved with the Tigers’ 2021 pre-season after being granted temporary release from active service.

Previously featuring in the British Army’s Senior XV before his time with Quins in 2019, he is actively pursuing opportunities in rugby league.

Director of Rugby, Jon Wells said: “Lloyd has fit in terrifically with the group here at Castleford, he works well with our players and is popular within the team. As such we have extended his trial period and look forward to seeing what he can continue to offer.”
