With Atoni signing for Cas, I’d go for Owen Trout from Leigh to bolster the front row.
He’s got size, youth, brings loads of energy and wouldn’t take up a quota spot.
I’m not saying we’d get him but he’s a Wakefield lad and fan. In his short career to date he’s been at Cas and Leeds as a junior, then Huddersfield and now Leigh so he’s obviously not worried about moving from one club to the next.
I thought he was at Wakefield as a junior, when his brother was with us.
He played at Stanley Rangers, same as his brother, but I don't remember him joining our Academy tbh. I remember him playing for England Academy against the Aussies when at Leeds, when England won 2-0.
Came through Leeds academy I believe.
Yeah, as I said, I remember him playing for England Academy against the Aussies while a Leeds junior. I seem to remember quite a bit of hype about him when he was going through their Academy at that time, but he only lasted a year in their senior set-up before moving to Hudds, might have been down to the lack of chances he was getting. I also think he made his SL debut against Trinity for Leeds.
