Wakefield hand new deal to Crowther

Wakefield back-rower Jordan Crowther has signed a one-year contract extension.

Crowther, 20, is a product of the Trinity academy and made his debut back in 2014.

He said: “I am really happy, I have been with Wakefield since I was 15, so it is really nice to be able to stay, especially when it is your home town club as well.

“I haven’t played as many games as I would have liked to this season but the competition is strong, but hopefully next year I can kick on in pre season and hopefully get a few more games next year.”

Crowther has made three appearances for Trinity this year, as well as playing five games for Dewsbury and three for Oxford.

Head Coach Chris Chester added: “I am delighted for Jordan to have signed a new deal with us, and it is fantastic to be able to secure players who are products of our academy.

“Jordan is still only young but I have seen a lot of potential in him that will see him go a long way and I look forward to working with him for the remainder of this season and the next.”
