Matty dropped by Giants but says he has no ill will and is looking forward to a new start on loan at Castleford

- DAVE CRAVEN

HUDDERSFIELD prop Matty English says there are no hard feelings as he starts a two-week loan spell with Castleford tonight.

The England Knights forward has not played since last month's Challenge Cup semi-final defeat by Warrington.

He was dropped by Giants boss Ian Watson along with former Great Britain star Jake Connor.

English, who debuts against champions Wigan, said: "It did come as a bit of a shock not to be selected. But you have to respect his decision. He's the head coach. That's what he gets paid to do.

"There's no bitterness and no falling out or anything. And it's just nice to get a new opportunity here at Cas."
