Wakefield have confirmed the signing of winger Liam Kay from Toronto Wolfpack.

Kay, 28, joins on an initial loan deal for the rest of the season, but has penned a two-year deal with Trinity for the 2021 and 2022 seasons.

He said: “I’m over the moon to be joining Wakefield, the place where I got handed my Super League debut.

“I think the club itself has developed in leaps and bounds since the last time I was there so I’m really looking forward to getting back and getting stuck in.”

Kay previously had a spell at Wakefield in 2012 and 2013, and has scored 146 tries in 151 first grade appearances.

Head Coach Chris Chester said: “I’m delighted we’ve got Liam at the club.

“You only have to look at his prolific record to realise he knows where the try-line is and I think he’ll really push the likes of Tom Johnstone, Ben Jones-Bishop and Lee Kershaw in his position.

“He’s been at the club before, so he obviously knows what we’re about at Wakefield and I’m sure he’s looking forward to starting training with the boys next week.”
