Gadwin Springer quits Toulouse Olympique ahead of UK move

Gadwin Springer has left Toulouse Olympique with immediate effect.

The French club released the news this morning with Springer expected to join a club in the UK – though this has not yet been revealed who.

Springer signed for Toulouse Olympique back in November last year, just a month after it was announced he would be joining Elite One Championship side Villeneuve.

Springer had been confirmed as a Villeneuve player in October but chose to come back to Super League.

The French-Guianan prop actually came through the Toulouse academy before joining the Catalans Dragons where he made his debut in the Super League in 2014.

Confined to the Catalans reserve team, he then went to Castleford. The French forward played nearly 60 games in three seasons with the Tigers, before taking ending up on the periphery at the Jungle, helping the Toronto Wolfpack climb to Super League at the end of the 2019 season.

After a shortened year in 2020, he returned to the Championship competition this year with Halifax, then Featherstone who recruited him during the summer.

Villeneuve agreed to the release to allow Springer to join.

Now, though, Springer is set to return to the UK where he made his name for Castleford.
