Goole Vikings have made another exciting addition to their roster, securing the signature of 18-year-old winger Leroy Ncube from Castleford Tigers. The promising youngster joins the East Yorkshire club as part of their ongoing recruitment drive, following in the footsteps of his Castleford team-mate Brad Bullock.
Ncube has already shown significant potential, having scored an impressive 10 tries in 16 appearances for Castleford’s reserves and academy sides over the past two seasons. His move to Goole Vikings offers him a fresh opportunity to develop his career and make an impact in a squad known for nurturing young talent.
Speaking about his transfer, Ncube expressed enthusiasm for the new chapter in his career: “It’s a fresh start for me, and I’m joining a club that’s given a lot of young lads a chance, and they’ve really flourished. That gives me confidence that I can follow in their footsteps.” He also praised the rapid progress of the Vikings, noting, “It’s been impressive watching how the club has built in such a short time, and I can only see good things ahead.”
Goole Vikings have been making waves in recent times, with a clear focus on building a competitive squad by investing in young, ambitious players like Ncube. His arrival signals the club’s intent to continue their upward trajectory and establish themselves as a hub for emerging rugby league talent.
With Ncube’s pace, try-scoring ability, and determination, fans of the Vikings will be eager to see how he contributes to the team’s ambitions in the upcoming season. As Goole continues to strengthen their squad, the future looks bright for both the club and their latest recruit.
