Wakefield Trinity forward Jordan Williams linked with move away

After struggling to break through into the first team in 2026 forward Jordan Williams is set to leave Wakefield Trinity.

Leigh Leopards are leading the chase to sign the 29-year-old prop or back rower as they look to boost their squad following a couple of forwards leaving since the end of the last campaign.

​Williams was signed for the 2026 season from neighbours Featherstone Rovers where he had a strong 2025, but only featured three times for Daryl Powell’s Grand Final winners.

He is under contract until the end of 2027 after signing a two-year deal with Trinity, but it is believed they are prepared to let the player leave to take up a first team opportunity elsewhere.

Competition for places in the pack has been fierce at Wakefield with the successful recruitment from down under seeing them unearth major talents in Caleb Hamlin-Uele, Caius Faatili, Ky Rodwell and Isaiah Vagana and Williams is looking for more game time in 2027.

The Stevenage-born player began his career with London Broncos and also had a spell with the London Skolars before his move north to Featherstone.
