Reece Lyne has signed a new four-and-a-half-year deal at Wakefield.

The 25-year-old joined Trinity in 2012 from Hull FC and has gone on to make 128 appearances for the Tricolours, scoring 44 tries.

Lyne’s impressive performances for Trinity has seen him receive a call-up to the England Knights.

On signing his new deal, he said: “The club approached me a few months back to talk about and I am really enjoying my time here so it was a no-brainer.

“It will be a real honour to represent the club for 10 years and to get a testimonial at the end of it will be really rewarding.”

Trinity coach Chris Chester is delighted that Lyne has extended his stay.

He said: “It is great news for Reece and the club.

“He has been fantastic for us this year. He is happy here and very settled at the club and I look forward to working with him for the next three or four years.”
