It’s a chance for Castan to play regularly after missing the entire 2014-15 season due to delicate brain surgery.

It’s a chance for Castan to play regularly after missing the entire 2014-15 season due to delicate brain surgery.

He had an operation to remove a cavernoma – cluster of irregular blood vessels – in the brain, which was causing him to feel permanently sea-sick.

Although he returned for the 2015-16 campaign, Castan only made six appearances in all competition.
