Castleford Tigers have signed Wigan Warriors winger Shaun Ainscough on a one-month loan deal.
The 20-year-old made his Super League debut for Wigan last season, scoring 17 tries in just 12 games but then missed the last two months though injury.
Under a dual-registration contract, Ainscough has already featured for Widnes this season and scored in their Northern Rail Cup win over Swinton.
He is not eligible to play when Wigan play Castleford on 21 March.
"It's a good move for me joining Castleford," said Ainscough. "I'm really pleased to be back in Super League and can't wait for the game at the weekend.
"Obviously I had a chance at this level last season but then I missed out for the last couple of months so I have wanted to get back into playing in the top flight for a while.
"I'm looking forward to meeting the guys tomorrow and hope to take this chance to show what I can do in Super League."
Wigan are currently top of Super League XV, having won their first three games, running in 17 tries.
