Goole Vikings have bolstered their side by bringing in a Castleford Tigers and a Warrington Wolves man on a week-to-week loan.
The Vikings, who are in their first-ever Championship season, are currently 15th in the table and have won two of their opening seven matches.
Scott Taylor’s side have a wealth of Super League experience, particularly in the pack with the likes of Liam Watts and Brett Ferres at the club. That middle unit has now been improved further ahead of their clash with Newcastle Thunder on Good Friday.
Jimmy Beckett, who joined Castleford in the off-season from Featherstone Rovers, will head to the club as he looks to find game time at a high level.
Beckett is a former Championship regular and spent six seasons in the lower leagues for Fev, Keighley, Oldham and Dewsbury.
He made his Super League debut in round two in defeat to Toulouse, and has made two further appearances since including in the club’s victory over Huddersfield Giants last time out.

Warrington Wolves youngster heads out on loan
As well as Beckett, Goole have also brought in Wire prospect Flynn Holden, who was part of the unbeaten academy side in 2025.
Able to play at full-back or on the wing, Holden represented Lancashire in last year’s Academy Origin series.
On the pair, head coach Scott Taylor said: “We are pleased to add a couple of fresh faces to our squad going into a big run of games.
“We’ve picked up a few injuries over the last few weeks, so this is a timely boost for the group and helps drive competition for places.
“Jimmy is a top quality forward, he has been consistently one of the best performers in the Championship over the last few years and has deserved his shot at Super League – so to bring in someone of his calibre and experience is a major plus for us.
“Flynn is just starting out in his senior career but has a lot of exciting attributes and comes with solid references from people we trust, so we are looking forward to seeing what he can add to us.”
