No Cas contract for Chambers

Dwain Chambers will not be offered a contract with Super League club Castleford.

The Tigers agreed to give the disgraced sprinter a month's trial but have concluded that, at 30, he does not have enough time to carve out a career in rugby league.

"Our coaching team feels that he would need a significant amount of additional time to prove whether or not he would be capable of making the grade in Super League, and time is something that we don't have," said Castleford chief executive Richard Wright.

Chambers' manager Nick Collins said: "While disappointed, Dwain is comfortable with and understands the decision."
