Greek Australian NRL player, Billy Tsikrikas, has signed a loan deal with English rugby league club Castleford Tigers until the end of the 2023 Super League season, as reported by Totalrl.
Tsikrikas, 28, will join Castleford Tigers on a loan from Sydney club, the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs.
Tsikrikas has spent his career playing in Australia and Greece, due to his Greek heritage.
Keeping in touch with his “Greek background” he said in an Instagram post, is what has got him to where he is, with opportunities to play abroad and within Australia.
In Australia, Tsikrikas started with the Penrith Panthers between 2019 and 2021 representing NSW.
