Castleford star emerges from 'scary year'

AFER fearing he might not fully recover from a serious injury, Castleford’s Louis Senior is flying again - and out to prove former club Hull KR wrong.

The rangy centre faces the Super League leaders tonight having only recently returned from a problematic torn quad.

He suffered the injury in May last year and should have been back in action for Castleford in around 14 weeks. But Senior didn’t make his comeback until coming off the bench against Salford 12 months later.

The Ireland international, who has scored two tries in three starts since that game on May 18, admitted: “It is great to be back. I had a real tough time with the injury and a fair few setbacks so I'm glad to be playing again.

“It was pretty much a year to the day since I'd done it. It was a bit scary at some points because of those setbacks I encountered. But once I got to the back end of it all and started running fast again, I felt good and those anxieties went.”
