Isa has joined Castleford from Melbourne Storm

New Castleford Tigers signing Willie Isa will be able to play at the start of the new Super League season after receiving his visa.

The Samoan international centre will now travel to the UK from Sydney within the next few days and could feature in Sunday's pre-season clash with Batley.

Isa agreed a deal with the Tigers in December from NRL outfit Melbourne Storm to replace James Evans.

Evan was forced to retire last season because of injury.
