Tom Johnstone has been named in Wakefield’s squad to face Leigh in the Super League this weekend.

The winger has not featured since picking up a head knock in Trinity’s Challenge Cup defeat by Catalans Dragons in early April, and was later sent to a neurosurgeon after he suffered a setback in his recovery from concussion.

However, the 25-year-old has been named by head coach Chris Chester for this week’s only Super League clash.

Joe Westerman is also set to make his 350th career appearances.

Wakefield squad to face Leigh: Jowitt, Johnstone, Tupou, Lyne, Kay, Miller, Lino, Fifita, Wood, Arona, Tanginoa, Westerman, Pitts, Battye, Batchelor, Green, I.Senior, Arundel, Walker, Aydin, Kershaw.
