Wakefield Trinity Eyes Rising Talent for Super League Squad

Wakefield Trinity is setting its sights on Jayden Myers, a standout young player from the Bradford Bulls, as they gear up for their Super League return. The highly-rated 21-year-old centre has caught the attention of the club after an impressive 2024 season in the Championship. Myers’ performance included 12 tries across 27 games, earning him a nomination for the league’s Young Player of the Season award.

Despite his success, Myers’ opportunities with Bradford appear limited due to the team’s active recruitment drive. The Bulls have bolstered their ranks with high-profile signings such as Waqa Blake and Guy Armitage, alongside experienced players like Jorge Taufua, Jayden Okunbor, and Kieran Gill. With such competition, Myers’ chances for consistent first-team play have taken a hit, making him a prime target for Wakefield.

Wakefield sees Myers as a valuable addition to head coach Daryl Powell’s squad. Known for developing young talent, the club has been keen to balance their recruitment strategy by bringing in youthful players with potential. Myers’ contract with the Bulls expires at the end of the 2025 season, giving Wakefield a window to negotiate a deal for his services ahead of the 2026 campaign.

However, Myers will face a delayed start to the season due to a four-match suspension following a controversial tackle during Bradford’s playoff loss to Toulouse Olympique. As for the Bulls, recruitment efforts under Brian Noble are expected to continue, with the club focusing on assembling a competitive squad for the upcoming season.

This potential move underscores Wakefield’s ambition to strengthen their lineup with a mix of experience and rising stars as they aim to make an impact in the Super League.
