Love Island star and former professional rugby league player Jacques O'Neill is returning to the field.
The sportsman, who was born in Barrow, is set to represent Castleford All Stars on Sunday September 29.
The former pupil of Dowdales School shot to stardom when he appeared on ITV2 for the eighth season of Love Island in 2022.
As a youngster, Jacques played junior rugby league for Askam ARLFC before signing to Castleford Tigers where he took up a position as hooker or loose forward in the Super League.
He has previously played for the Leigh Centurions, Halifax, and ended the 2023 season with Sheffield Eagles in the Championship before deciding to pursue other opportunities in 2024.
The 25-year-old is joining the team for a match at Wheldon Road, the home ground of Castleford Tigers.
Hull FC All stars will take on Castleford All Stars for Liam Watts' testimonial.
