Wakefield name squad for Festive Challenge against Leeds

Wakefield boss Chris Chester has named his squad for the Boxing Day Festive Challenge against Leeds.

Trinity will travel to Headingley with a 19-man strong side, which includes five of their new signings.

Josh Wood, Alex Walker and Jay Pitts have all been named, as have Chris Green and Adam Tangata, who both had loan spells at the club last season.

Ryan Hampshire and Max Jowitt, who will both be battling for the fullback spot with Walker in 2020, are also included, however the former will likely line up in the halves alongside Jacob Miller, with Danny Brough missing out.

Wakefield 19-man squad: 1 Alex Walker, 4 Reece Lyne, 6 Jacob Miller, 9 Kyle Wood, 11 Matty Ashurst, 12 Danny Kirmond, 14 Jay Pitts, 17 Chris Green, 18 Adam Tangata, 19 Jordan Crowther, 21 Max Jowitt, 22 George King, 23 Josh Wood, 24 Jack Croft, 26 Titus Gwaze, 27 Lee Kershaw, 28 Ryan Atkins, 29 Ryan Hampshire, 36 Kelepi Tanginoa.
