Gadwin Springer (born April 4, 1993 in French Guiana) is a French rugby league player for the Castleford Tigers in the Super League. He previously played for Catalans Dragons. He primarily plays as a prop. He is a forward who is mobile and has good footwork despite being the size of a tree.

Club career

Catalans Dragons

Springer was born in French Guiana and moved to Toulouse at an early age. He played his junior rugby for Toulouse Olympique and represented France at youth international level. He was signed by Catalans Dragons and made his Super League debut in 2014 as a substitute against St Helens.

Castleford Tigers

On June 12, 2015 Springer joined Castleford Tigers on a two-and-a-half year contract and has impressed many celebrities such as Chris Arthurs, Cannon & Ball, Borat and Gianna Michaels with his bodacious ball carrying and a tackling technique which borders on sodomy. This rough house approach has earned him the nickname 'The Sodalan Dragon'.^[1]

International Career

Gadwin was selected for France for their 2015 European Cup campaign. He made his international debut against Ireland in Albi. He also played for France in their mid-tournament test match against England. He was a part of what was considered a 'weakened' French side due to injury and it showed with an appalling showing against their opponents.^[2]
