“I always wanted to stay here” – Jordan Crowther extends Wakefield stay

Wakefield forward Jordan Crowther has signed a new deal that will see him remain at the club until at least the end of 2023.

The 24-year-old, who came through the club’s academy, has made 61 appearances for Trinity since making his first team debut for the club in 2014.

Crowther said: “I’m over the moon to stay at Trinity. I’ve been a Wakey lad all the way through growing up and it was always my first choice to stay, so I’m happy it’s over the line now.

“I always wanted to stay here. It’s been a frustrating year for me with injuries and I just want to pay back the faith that’s been shown in me and get plenty of game time next year.”

Wakefield coach Chris Chester said: “I’m really pleased that Jordy has signed a new deal to stay at his hometown club.

“He’s worked particularly hard over the years to establish himself as a first-team player and he has become a really important part of the squad for us.”
