INURY-RAVAGED Bradford have been boosted by the returns of three players for Thursday’s home clash with Castleford.

Kurt Haggerty has named a 20-man squad for the fixture, with Phoenix Steinwede and Dan Russell having both completed their concussion protocols, and Loghan Lewis returning from suspension.

Youngsters Harvey Duckworth and Riley Gelder make way.

Castleford have Krystian Mapapalangi back at their disposal, with the centre having spent the last two matches on the sidelines with a shoulder injury.

Alfie Lindsay returns to the squad after having spent time on loan with Widnes, for whom he scored against Sheffield Eagles, with fellow youngster Tylor Sharpe also recalled.

The Tigers are however without Keanan Brand, who has been recalled by parent club Leigh Leopards, and outside back Daniel Sarbah due to a suspension incurred from his debut against Catalans Dragons last week.

Cain Robb also drops out of the squad.
