Serving soldier Junior Vasuitoga has pledged to prove he can make the grade in professional rugby after joining Castleford Tigers on a three-month trial.

The 26-year-old Fijian is a member of 9 Regiment RLC, based near Chippenham in Wiltshire and has featured for the British Army’s senior XV and sevens squads.

He plays centre, wing or full-back and has been identified by Tigers coach Lee Radford as a potential star in the 13-a-side code, despite no previous rugby league experience.
