“I’m extremely privileged and excited to be continuing my rugby league journey with Wakefield," said Rodwell, who has been a regular in the NSW Cup in recent years.

"I’ve heard a lot about the place and can’t wait to meet all you Trinity fans.

"I’m looking forward to meeting the rest of the boys and ripping in for the 2024 season."

The former Australian Schoolboy could come into contention for the Good Friday derby at Featherstone Rovers.

"Ky is a tough aggressive player who will complement the type of players we have in our middle unit at the moment.

"I am really looking forward to seeing him play in Wakefield colours and I’m confident he will be a big hit with our fans."
