Castleford Tigers winger Jason Qareqare is facing a further four months on the sidelines after suffering a recurrence of a serious hamstring injury.

The 21-year-old Fiji international only recently returned from time out with the same issue, scoring a brace as Tigers were beaten 13-12 at Wakefield Trinity.

But after he pulled up in the final minute of that clash, head coach Danny Maguire confirmed Qareqare is now set for surgery and a second lengthy spell out of Super League.

“It was really unfortunate,” said Maguire ahead of Saturday’s trip to Huddersfield Giants. “It was 79 minutes and 10 seconds, he got the ball down the right-hand side and he’s re-injured his hamstring.

“He’s going to need surgery to repair that, and we’re thinking the best-case scenario is three-to-four-months. I’m not a specialist, but that’s what we’re being told.

“It’s a big blow for us, but a bigger blow for Jase. He’s already worked really hard to get back, and he’s been really unfortunate.”

Qareqare has 22 tries in 40 games for Tigers since making his debut in June 2021.
