Background

Springer was born in French Guiana.

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 début in 2014 as a substitute against St. Helens.

Castleford Tigers

On 12 June 2015 Springer joined Castleford Tigers on a ​2 1⁄2-year contract.[3]

He was a member of Castleford's squad which won the League Leaders Shield in 2017, making 21 appearances during the season, and was named as 18th man for the 2017 Super League Grand Final.

International career

Gadwin was selected for France for their 2015 European Cup campaign. He made his international début 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.[4] Springer played in France's lone international fixture of 2016, an end of year test match against England in Avignon.
