Wakefield Trinity have secured the signing of former England international winger Jermaine McGillvary on a deal that will see him stay at the club until 2024.
This move marks the end of McGillvary's impressive 15-year tenure with Huddersfield Giants, his hometown club.
During his time at Huddersfield, McGillvary showcased his prowess on the field, scoring an impressive 209 tries in 312 games since he turned professional in 2008.
Unfortunately, the 35-year-old was not offered a new contract by the Giants, leading him to seek a new challenge with Wakefield Trinity.
Wakefield Trinity's head coach, Chris Chester, expressed his admiration for McGillvary's determination, stating, "I was super impressed with how driven he is." Chester believes that McGillvary's experience and skill will greatly benefit the team, and he has high expectations for the winger's performance in the upcoming season.
Chester confidently stated, "I have no doubt he's going to have a barnstorming season on the wing for Wakefield Trinity."
McGillvary's arrival at Wakefield Trinity adds depth and quality to the team's roster, particularly in the wing position.
His attacking prowess and ability to find the try line make him a valuable asset for his new club.
Wakefield Trinity fans are eagerly looking forward to seeing McGillvary's contributions on the field and are hopeful that he will help the team achieve success in the upcoming season.
With his vast experience and proven track record, McGillvary's presence in the Wakefield Trinity squad is set to make a significant impact.
