Castleford forward George Lawler is recovering in hospital after a seizure caused a small bleed on his brain.
The 28-year-old was hospitalised overnight and will undergo tests in the coming days to diagnose the issue.
“Tigers can confirm that George Lawler suffered a seizure through the night at home and was taken to hospital,” the Betfred Super League club said in a statement.
“Scans have shown George has a small bleed on his brain. He’s awake and feeling well.
“He will be spending the weekend in hospital for observation and will undergo further testing and specialist involvement.
“We ask that people respect George and his family’s privacy at this time. Everybody at the club sends their best wishes for his recovery.”
