Lachlan Walmsley will stay with Wakefield Trinity for the 2026 season after signing a new contract with the club.
The 27-year old has impressed in his debut Super League season grabbing 7 tries in 10 games in the league so far in 2025.
This has backed up a prolific career in the Championship where he scored 98 times in 93 games in the second tier across four seasons with Whitehaven, Halifax and Trinity.
A man that definitely knows his way to the try line, Walmsley even bagged twice in the 2022 Rugby League World Cup while representing Scotland.
The move will keep a well loved fan favourite at the club for another season.
On the contract, Walmsley said: “I’ve really enjoyed the last two years with Wakefield and I’m really happy to extend for another year! The fans have been absolutely amazing and I can’t wait to be running out at Belle Vue in front of more packed out crowds. As a club, Trinity is going in a positive direction and I’m excited to be a part of it.”
Trinity Head Coach, Daryl Powell said: “Lachlan came in as a Raw player from the championship and has grown into a consistent performer at super league level. He has improved in all the key areas in his game which is always great to see as a coach. He also fits perfectly into the group as a character and person. He’s a pleasure to coach and I’m delighted he agreed to stay with the club for another year.”
Recruitment Manager, Ste Mills said: “Lachlan has made great progress since joining the club at the start of the 2024 season. He has ingrained himself in our culture & has become a real fans favourite. We are delighted to be keeping him for another 12 months & seeing him continue to grow at Wakefield Trinity.”
