Castleford have announced that they have lifted their suspension on Australian winger Justin Carney.
The 27-year-old sat out the final three games of the Super League season, pending the results of an internal investigation.
But the club released a short statement on Monday confirming the matter had been resolved.
The statement read: "Castleford Tigers can confirm that, following a period of suspension, Justin Carney has returned to the club.
"The matter has been dealt with internally and neither the club nor the player wish to comment further."
Carney, formerly with Sydney Roosters and Canberra Raiders, joined the Tigers almost three years ago, having signed a two-year deal.
He has performed well for the Tigers and, having signed a new five-year contract last year, he recently expressed an interest in representing England, who he qualifies for under the residency rule later this year.
Despite having served five separate suspensions for foul play since coming to Super League, Carney has scored 63 tries in 62 appearances, and he was in the Tigers team that lost to Leeds in the 2014 Challenge Cup final at Wembley.
