Corey Hall leaves Leeds for Wakefield return
Wakefield have signed young centre Corey Hall from Leeds.
Hall, 19, was previously with Trinity’s scholarship programme up until 2018.
He said: “I’m very excited to be back where I first started my professional career.
“I really appreciate being given the opportunity to come back and develop as a player under the coaching staff and I look forward to giving 100% in pre-season.
“I strongly believe that I have a good opportunity and that will be my driving force, to make sure I get the chance off Willie.”
