Kirk Dixon and Jake Emmitt will both make their comebacks from injury in Castleford's pre-season friendly against Huddersfield Giants at the PROBIZ Coliseum on Friday.

Winger Dixon has not played since August but he has recovered from shoulder surgery, while former St Helens prop Emmitt will make his first appearance since July after overcoming a knee injury.

Coach Ian Millward also includes Man of Steel Rangi Chase and captain Danny Orr in his 22-man squad, along with centre Ryan Shaw, who has joined the Tigers on loan from Warrington.
