Leeds Rugby League club Castleford Tigers have revealed they've released Jacques O'Neill released from his contract so he could feature on Love Island.

I was concentrating so much on my rugby and then I had that injury. The public paired Tasha with Andrew on Day 1. The public paired Amber with Dami on Day 1.

Last night Jacques O'Neill made a major debut in his career, but it wasn't on the rugby field. No, it was in the Love Island villa.

Come 2021 he would commit to Cas for a further two years having been there since he was 15. He missed his chance at playing in a major final for the first time however due to a hamstring injury as Castleford lost the Challenge Cup Final against St Helens. He made his professional debut in 2018 for Leigh due to the club’s player struggles at this time.

To not realise that Castleford Tigers forward Jacques O'Neill had gone into the Love Island villa, you would probably be living under a rock.

With the nuggety forward enjoying a stellar rise to the Tigers first-team, Castleford fans have been sad to see O’Neill go, particularly when someone with his drive and tenacity could have been vital in what has been a difficult season for the West Yorkshire side so far in 2022. Of course, O’Neill is Gemma Owen’s ex-boyfriend – and Gemma herself is the daughter of footballing hero Michael Owen – and he was seen on television screens last night as he entered the villa. The Cumbrian-born 23-year-old has swapped the Jungle life for the red hot sun in an exotic location to find love this summer, with the rugby league fraternity looking on with great interest.
