Castleford Tigers have been rocked by a major injury to influential halfback Luke Gale.

TotalRL can confirm the England halfback has sustained a suspected Achilles injury, which will almost certainly see him ruled out for the entirety of the season.

Gale is understood to have sustained the injury in a routine training session over the weekend.

He will undergo scans early next week to discover the full extent of the injury.

More details will be available in League Express this evening.
