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.
