Veteran forward Jay Pitts has signed a new two-year contract to stay at Wakefield Trinity.

The 35-year-old, who can play as either a second row or loose forward, will remain with Trinity until the end of the 2027 season.

Pitts has been with the club since joining from London Broncos ahead of the 2020 season and has now played 150 games for them.

"Both on and off the field, Jay's leadership is outstanding; he sets high standards for others to follow, and this consistency has been superb," head coach Daryl Powell told the club's website.

Wakefield are sixth in Super League with seven wins from their 12 games.
