Masseymade his Castleford debut in 2008 before going full-time in 2009.

Castleford Tigers prop Nathan Massey has signed a dual contract with Championship side Keighley.

Massey is set to make his debut for the Cougars in their home clash with Sheffield Eagles on Friday.

"I feel this opportunity will benefit Nathan giving him the chance to play against strong and mature forwards," Tigers coach Terry Matterson said.

"As a prop he will gain more from facing that type of opposition than he is likely to in the Under-20's."

He added: "Of course we can recall him at short notice if we need to call him back."

Massey has made two appearances for the Tigers this year and has had similar loan spells in the past with Featherstone, York and Gateshead.

Another Tiger on a dual contract, John Davies, made his debut for York last Sunday in their defeat at Doncaster.
