Source: www.castigers.comCastleford's closed season signing from NRL giants Canterbury Bulldogs Grant Millington looks set to make his debut for the club after being selected in the 19-man squad ahead of Friday's home clash with Leeds.
Prop forward Millington adds size to the Tigers pack and takes his place in the squad ahead of Jonathan Walker, who didn't make the match day '17' last weekend.
Back row Brett Ferres was a late omission from last weekend's side due to injury but has recovered in time to take his place for this fixture.
Winger Nick Youngquest, who was drafted in to last weekend's squad at late notice in place of the injured centre Joe Arundel, takes his place once again for this weekend after coming through his first game following injury unscathed.

Source: www.bulldogs.com.auThe Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs have agreed to release forward Grant Millington from the remainder of his playing contract to allow him to take up a two year deal with English Super League club Castleford.
Millington, who turned 25 on November 1, will relocate to the UK as soon as his visa arrangements are finalised. He will continue to train with the Bulldogs until such arrangements are complete.
The hard working forward joined the Bulldogs from the Cronulla Sharks prior to the start of the 2011 NRL season, playing six matches during the year to take his overall career tally to 55 first grade games.
Bulldogs chief executive Todd Greenberg says Millington goes with the Club's full blessing.
"Grant's been a popular member of the squad since he arrived and while we will be sad to see him go, both Jim Dymock and myself felt it would be wrong to stand in his way when it came to this opportunity," Greenberg said.
"Grant's seen a chance to play regularly at the top level with Castleford whilst also getting to experience living overseas. In the end it was a fairly easy decision to make, particularly given the depth we have in the back row for 2012.
"We wish Grant and his fiancee Amy all the best for the next two years and we hope that the move proves to be a successful one."
Millington says the decision to accept the Tigers offer was "bittersweet".
"While it's a case of mixed feelings, I will leave the Bulldogs with nothing but happy memories," Millington says.
"This is both a football and a personal decision for me and it's one that I thought long and hard about. Of course, a two year deal gives me some added security and I'm thankful to Jimmy and Todd for allowing me the opportunity to pursue it.
"Living and playing overseas has also been something I wanted to do at some point too, and I'm looking forward to getting the chance to do some travelling in the off season as well. So there's certainly a reason for excitement as well."
