WAKEFIELD TRINITY have made yet another signing ahead of their first season back in the Championship since 1998 with the capture of a Scotland international.
That man is 23-year-old forward Luke Bain, who has signed for Trinity on a two-year deal.
Bain was born in Hampshire USA, but qualified to represent Scotland in the 2021 World Cup due to Scottish heritage on his father’s side.
A strong, hard running forward with an uncompromising defensive technique, he first learned his rugby league skills as a youngster after the family moved to Bathurst, Australia.
Bain was a part of the Parramatta Eels squad in 2022 before moving to Brisbane Tigers in the Queensland Cup last season. Standing at 6’2 and weighing in at 100kg, Bain will bring a powerful presence to the Trinity forward pack.
Wakefield head coach Daryl Powell said: “Luke is a great addition to our squad for 2024. He is quick and athletic with a great offload. He is also a real hardworking defender which what we aim to build our game in next season.
“Everyone we asked our him came up with quality replies. I look forward to working with Luke in the next two years.”
Bain himself said: “I’m very grateful to be given the opportunity to play at Wakefield. After hearing the ambitions of the club, I knew it was something I wanted be apart of.
“I think the club is heading in a really positive direction and I can’t wait to contribute to the future success.”
