Grix said: “I am excited for a change in my career after spending six years at the Giants.

“It is a great opportunity for me to move back to Wakefield, the club where I made my Super League debut at.

“It will be good to play alongside some of my friends and I am looking forward to working with a young set of coaches.”

Chairman, Michael Carter said: “I am delighted to announce the signing of Scott Grix on a two-year contract. Scott is a true professional who will bring valued leadership qualities both on and off the field.”

Head Coach, Chris Chester said: “It is great that I have been able to bring Scott back to Wakefield. It will give us a bit of competition to the fullback row along with the experience and guidance to help Max Jowitt.”
