Wakefield veteran star Pitts explains decision to extend his playing career
Yorkshire Evening Post
|May 29, 2025
Wakefield Trinity stalwart Jay Pitts believes he still has plenty to offer after extending his career by two years.
The evergreen 35-year-old has signed a new deal that will see him finish where he started at Belle Vue in 2027, which will be his 20th season as a professional player.
Pitts, who made his Super League debut for his hometown club in 2008 before spells with Leeds Rhinos, Hull FC, Bradford Bulls and London Broncos, has played a key role in Wakefield's impressive rise from the Championship to the top half of Super League.
The hardworking forward reached the 150-game mark for Trinity in last week's 72-10 demolition of Salford Red Devils and will transition into a coaching position in the club's youth set-up once he retires.
"Me and my family were a bit unsure going into this year whether I'd carry on playing or call it a day," he said.
