New signing Josh Cordoba is set to make his Hull FC debut against Castleford Tigers at The Jungle on Sunday.

The 25-year-old forward, who has signed a short-term deal until the end of the season, replaces injured Jamie Thackray in the only change to the squad that lost to Leeds last time out.

Hull FC coach Richard Agar also includes Danny Tickle in his squad, even though the second rower is nursing a broken wrist.

Returns

There is positive injury news for the home side, as Castleford skipper Ryan Hudson makes his return to the Tigers' side after an extended absence.

Hudson will appear for the first time since suffering a broken arm against Warrington three months ago.

Australian scrum-half Brent Sherwin could also return to first-team action after sitting out six matches due to a foot injury.

Former Hull FC player Kirk Dixon is set to make an immediate comeback after missing last Sunday's narrow victory over Bradford Bulls.

Castleford squad: Owen, Dixon, Shenton, Wainwright, Chase, Sherwin, Sargent, Hudson, Huby, Ferres, Clayton, Westerman, Jones, Higgins, Feather, Boyle, Netherton, McGoldrick, Widders.

Hull FC squad: Berrigan, Broughton, Burnett, Cordoba, Houghton, G. Horne, R. Horne, Hodgson, King, Lee, Maloney, Manu, Moa, Radford, Raynor, Tickle, Thorman, Whiting, Yeaman
