jack was born 15 july 1988 in airedale, emigrated to australia and is a plasterer by trade, he was playing with canberra raiders feeder club, but did not make 1st grade, and was spotted by some one from the broncos, and is now making a name in their 1st grade, and is well liked by darren lockyer, and the rest of the club, so well done to the lad, and he was on the verge of signing for a co-op championship team, before his luck changed.

i would have said if it says born in airdale they will be reffering to airdale general hospital near keighley not airdale castleford.

According to Wiki he was born in Castleford.

Mentioned in The Guardian a couple of weeks ago that he's Cas-born.

I'm sure the Hull KR fans will take credit for his development.

Don't you mean Wakefield? They lay claim to everybody else that is a youngster either from Cas or playing for Cas.
