Ex-Castleford star Denny Solomona reveals desire to play for England after controversial switch to rugby union

Denny Solomona has announced that he wants to play for England following his controversial switch to rugby union.

The former Castleford winger has scored 11 tries in as many games for his new side, Sale Sharks, since his move last year.

The New Zealand-born star has completed the three-year residency period to qualify to play for England and has revealed his intentions despite having represented Samoa in rugby league.

The 23-year-old broke the record for the most tries scored in a Super League season with Castleford but then failed to report for pre-season training, despite having two years left on his contract.

He then announced his move to Sale Sharks, which remains the subject of legal action.

He did not comment on his move from Castleford but said it is a matter of time until supporters move on.
