SAMIR Tahraoui has joined Keighley Cougars on a month's loan from the Bulls.

The Algeria-born prop, a close-season signing from Whitehaven, impressed in the opening weeks of the campaign for Jimmy Lowes’ side.

He has since fallen down the pecking order and also suffered post-concussion syndrome, but is now fit to play again.

Tahraoui is in line to make his debut for Paul March’s League One side this Sunday when South Wales Scorpions visit Cougar Park.

The arrival of Tahraoui adds cover to an injury-depleted pack which currently sees seven forwards ruled out through injury.

Bulls scrum half Adam Brook is also on a month’s loan at Keighley and scored on his debut in last weekend’s win at Barrow.

Meanwhile, Cougars captain James Feather passed a head test this afternoon so can play this Sunday.
