Wakefield Trinity can confirm that Ben Jones-Bishop will miss the opening months of the Betfred Super League season, having been diagnosed with a medical condition.

Jones-Bishop, who has been an integral part of Trinity’s squad since joining the club in 2016, received the news early in pre-season, which has stopped him from taking part in training.

Head Physio Ryan Carmody commented: “Earlier on in pre-season we received the news that Bish had been diagnosed with a medical condition. Unfortunately it’s stopped him taking part in any sort of training and means he’s set for a fairly lengthy spell on the sidelines. He’s currently under investigation with the medical team and we hope to see Bish back in the Red, White & Blue during the summer.”

Everyone at Wakefield Trinity wishes Ben well in his recovery and are looking forward to seeing him back out on the pitch in the summer.
