Wakefield Trinity owner Matt Ellis has teased a series of major announcements as the ambitious Championship club prepare to reveal their plans for 2025.
Trinity dropped out of Super League last year but are optimistic about returning at the first attempt following the introduction of a new grading system. Ellis plans to make full use of the salary cap exemption for marquee players in his bid to establish Wakefield as a genuine force at the top level, with the club linked with moves for Catalans Dragons stars Tom Johnstone and Mike McMeeken.
Trinity have been able to attack the recruitment market from a position of strength, according to Ellis. 'There's room in the cap for us to get the players,' he added. 'That's the good thing about coming up from the Championship with ambition. 'It's the biggest budget the club have ever had for a Super League campaign. We want to put the best squad together that I've known at Wakefield Trinity.
