Eden facing trial for ABH

Castleford winger Greg Eden is facing a trial over an alleged attack on a female.

Records show that Eden appeared at Leeds Crown Court last month and denied a charge of assaulting a female, occasioning actual bodily harm.

The alleged incident is believed to have happened in May with the Pontefract and Castleford Express reporting that a trial date has been set for 22 April 2020.

Eden has endured a difficult season on the pitch and was recently dropped from the Tigers’ starting line-up by head coach Daryl Powell.

The club released a brief statement yesterday saying that they are aware of the incident.

It states: “Castleford Tigers are aware of the report of an incident involving Greg Eden.

“The club will not be making any further comment regarding this matter at this time.”
