Wakefield Trinity confirm another Super League signing

Wakefield Trinity have confirmed yet another Super League coupe with Daryl Powell’s side announcing the signing of Hull FC playmaker Jake Trueman.

Trueman has had a torrid time at Hull FC with his spell at the MKM Stadium hampered massively by injury problems, however, when he has played he’s shown plenty of ability.

After missing the 2023 season, Trueman found his 2024 campaign hindered recently after sustaining a muscle tear. As a result of injuries, he’s played just 26 times during his two years with Hull FC.

Prior to joining the Black and Whites he had played for Castleford Tigers, becoming one of Super League’s most exciting young halves over a five-year period from 2017 to 2022.

He’ll now make the switch from The Jungle to Belle Vue with Wakefield Trinity confirming his arrival for the 2025 season making him the latest in a string of Super League signings.

Powell’s side have already signed Tom Johnstone, Mike McMeeken, Oli Russell, Cam Scott and Corey Hall making Trueman their sixth Super League recruit.

Wakefield Trinity sign Hull FC half

Trinity confirmed the signing of Trueman via their social media with a statement confirming that the 25-year-old will join Wakefield on a three-and-a-half-year deal.

It’s actually been confirmed that they had signed him before the deadline but loaned him back to Hull FC, meaning Trueman could play for Wakefield Trinity this season as he becomes available for selection from Saturday 21st September.

A statement read: “Wakefield Trinity can confirm the signing of Jake Trueman from Hull FC in a deal which will see the half back potentially appear in the Red, White and Blue in 2024!

“Trueman will sign a deal until the end of the 2027 season with Wakefield.

“The deal was done prior to the transfer deadline with an agreement being put in place that sees Trueman remain at Hull FC until the completion of the Super League side’s fixtures.

“This means that Jake Trueman will be available for selection for Wakefield from Saturday 21st September.”

On signing for Trinity, Jake Trueman said: “It’s really exciting times at Wakefield, the club’s building and looking like it can be a real threat in the Super League for the next few years, so when I got the chance to join I couldn’t turn it down. I’m really looking forward to working with Powelly and the rest of the coaching staff, I’m confident they can get me playing my best rugby again”

Trinity Head Coach, Daryl Powell said: “Jake Trueman is an outstanding halfback who has his best years ahead of him. He has a high quality running and kicking game alongside excellent creativity which will make him an superb acquisition to add to our outstanding squad as we build towards 2025.”
