Wakefield Trinity can confirm the signing of Nathan Mason on an initial two-week loan from Huddersfield Giants.

Mason, 29, is an experienced forward who will bolster Trinity’s pack over the next few weeks. The prop has joined the squad for training this morning and will be in contention to feature in Thursday’s Rivals Round clash against Castleford at the Mend-A-Hose Jungle.

Speaking on his loan move, Mason said: “I’m really appreciative of Wakefield for allowing me to come on board and for giving me an opportunity to play. I’m looking forward to getting out on the field for the first time this year and just want to rip in for the lads.”

Head Coach, Mark Applegarth, added: “I’m really pleased to be able to bring Nathan in at this time. He’s an experienced forward who adds some size and quality to our pack ahead of some big games that are coming up. I’d like to thank Huddersfield for allowing Nathan to link up with us and I’m looking forward to working with him over the next few weeks.”
