CASTLEFORD TIGERS man Luis Johnson has suffered a horror ACL injury as his time at the Super League club comes to an end.
Johnson, who is out of contract at the end of the 2024 Super League season, suffered the horrendous issue in a reserves game a number of weeks ago against Warrington Wolves.
The former Hull KR and Warrington back-rower had played 10 minutes for the Tigers’ first-team in their 28-6 loss to the Wolves back in late August and then went on to play in the club’s reserves fixture the day after.
It was in that fixture where Johnson collapsed to the floor with an ACL injury, signalling a nine-month injury lay-off.
At a time when his contract with Castleford runs out, it could not have been much worse luck for Johnson, who only joined his hometown club towards the back end of the 2023 Super League season.
