The club add that clear unequivocal warnings have clearly been disregarded.The Super League club will now take the matter to the High Court.Unfortunately we are not privy to what has happened over the last three months between Solomona and his agent but on the back of losing the player in the circumstances described and now announced by Sale Sharks we confirm that today we have issued Proceedings out of the High Court in Leeds for damages against DDenny Solomona for breach of contract (dated 20 November 2015) and for damages including exemplary damages against Sale Sharks Ltd & Andrew Clarke (Solomonas agent) for inducing breach of the said contract, read the statement from Castleford CEO Steve Gill.ddddddddddddGill continued: The proceedings have been issued as a last resort having failed over the last couple of weeks to try and resolve matters without the formality of court proceedings.

Our belief is that all contracts are sacrosanct in professional and amateur sports.Sale Sharks boss Steve Diamond faced the press on Wednesday and said the club hope to sort out a deal with Castleford over Solomona.
