Castleford are investigating after a video alleged to involve loose forward Joe Westerman was shared on social media over the weekend.
The video appeared to show a man and a woman engaged in a sexual act in an alleyway at night.
In a brief statement, the club said: “Castleford Tigers are aware of a video involving a player that circulated on social media yesterday afternoon. This issue is currently being dealt with internally and the Club will make no further comment at this time.”
Former England international Westerman returned to Castleford for a second spell at the start of last season. He has made 387 career appearances and also played for Hull, Warrington, Toronto and Wakefield.
He hit the headlines for an extraordinary video in 2019 where he dislocated his knee in a televised game against Hull KR, and was shown knocking it back in place.
Castleford open up their Super League season with a trip to one of Westerman’s former clubs, Hull, on Sunday.
