One released Wakefield Trinity man has landed a new club for 2027, with a previous loan deal becoming permanent.
Young prop Noah High was one of several players listed on Trinity’s departure list at the end of the season, but up to now he was the only one who hadn’t sealed his future.
Among others, Lachlan Walmsley and Cam Scott moved to Bradford, Jay Pitts retired, and Max Jowitt went to York, and High has now joined his ex-teammates in landing a club ahead of the new season.
Signing a contract with Championship side Oldham, High makes the 2026 loan move a permanent one and will look to add to his four appearances, all of which came at the back end of the season.
A product of the Warrington Wolves academy, the 21-year-old has spent two years at Wakefield, but will now look for more senior game time in the second tier.

“I’m chuffed to be signing,” High told Oldham’s club website. “It’s really exciting to be part of a strong squad which we’re building for next season, and hopefully we can build on what we did in 2026.

“Having worked with Alan [Kilshaw, head coach] and the coaches last season, I think this move is the best thing for my development, and I can’t wait to get stuck in and wear the Oldham shirt for a full season.”
Boss Kilshaw added: “Noah is physical, carries the ball strongly and isn’t afraid of the tough work that comes with playing in the middle.
“Having already spent time with us, he knows the environment, the standards we expect and how we want to play, which I think will really benefit him going into a full preseason.
“He’s another young player who is hungry to improve, and we believe he has plenty of development left in him.
“I’m looking forward to working with Noah again and seeing him continue to progress in an Oldham.”
