KEIGHLEY Cougars have named their squad for tomorrow’s Betfred Championship clash at Sheffield Eagles.
Cougars make the trip to South Yorkshire having just secured a crucial home win against relegation rivals Barrow on Sunday.
Keighley now sit two points clear of the drop, but face a tough ask at Olympic Legacy Park, with the Eagles sat fourth and needing to win themselves to increase their chances of a home play-off.
Cougars have made four changes to the 21-man squad that was named for Barrow.
Dan Parker is starting a two-match ban, so is unavailable, while Alix Stephenson, Billy Gaylor and Kyle Kesik all drop out.
In their place comes hometown hero Ben Stead, recently re-signed from Midlands Hurricanes, as well as Lloyd Roby, signed from Widnes at the end of last season.
There is also a spot in the 21-man squad for loan duo Joe Gibbons (Leeds) and Matty Laidlaw (Hull).
Matt Foster has named his 21 man squad to take on Sheffield this Friday.

That squad will of course be cut to 17 for matchday, as Cougars seek another two vital points to avoid the drop.
Following this trip to South Yorkshire, Keighley have games at home to Halifax and away to London Broncos to round off their season.
