Wakefield Trinity aim to become ‘a top four team in Super League’ – Total Rugby League

WAKEFIELD TRINITY are aiming to become “a top four Super League team”, according to recruitment manager Ste Mills.

The West Yorkshire club have spent big for 2025 in the belief they will be a Super League side next season, with the likes of Mike McMeeken, Tom Johnstone and Olly Russell all under contract for 2025 and beyond.

Wakefield currently dominate the Championship after lifting the Cup in 1895 and remaining unbeaten in the league.

For Mills, the aim is to become a Super League side looking for silverware in the upper echelons of the table.

“With some key additions at an older age with Mike McMeeken etc, the whole philosophy is to go for young players,” Mills said on the club’s YouTube channel.

“We want this team to be together for three four five years – and hopefully longer – with the coaching staff, so that’s the whole philosophy around everybody.

“We want players who have very high ceilings to improve as time goes on and we support our coach and coaching staff to get those players to improve.

We want to turn these boys into international players. That’s what they want, that’s what we want, and we’re all on the same path.

“We want to be a top four team in the Super League. We are not happy to be at the bottom of the Super League next year.”
