Wakefield Trinity are pleased to announce the signing of Craig Kopczak on a one-year deal.

The former Wales International has joined Trinity for the 2019 season from Super League side Salford Red Devils.

Kopczak, 31, made his debut for his home town club Bradford Bulls in 2006. After spending six years there, he made the move to Huddersfield Giants and was an integral part of the squad that won the League Leaders’ Shield in 2013.

Kopczak spoke of his deal saying, “I am excited and looking forward to a new challenge ahead. I can’t wait to be playing with a fantastic team. It is great to be back in Yorkshire and I am really looking forward to getting stuck in, meeting the lads and getting out there playing.”

Head Coach Chris Chester said, “I am a big admirer of Craig and have been for a number of years. We have been chasing him for a very long time and finally the paperwork is all signed and sealed. I am delighted he has joined us for at least 12 months.”
