Vete joins Featherstone on Loan

Castleford Tigers can confirm that Albert Vete has joined Featherstone Rovers on a two-week loan deal. 

Albert joined The Fords at the start of the 2023 season and has featured four times for the club so far. 

Castleford Tigers Interim Head Coach Andy Last said, “We had a look at Albie on a couple of occasions this year and this week we’ve decided to go in a different direction. It’s difficult to carry him and Suaia [Matagi], they’re very similar in what they bring, but I feel Suaia is just offering a little bit more than Albert at the minute. I think it’s key for Albert’s development to keep playing. At the end of the loan period he will have played 4 weeks of consistent Rugby League. Featherstone is a good club at the top end of the Championship. They’ve got some tough games so it will be good for Albert to get some game time over there.” 

We wish Albert all the best in his spell at Featherstone Rovers.
