\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\"\"\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n

Wakefield Trinity half-back Jake Trueman has been rewarded for his sensational early-season form with a new long-term contract.<\/p>\n

Trueman, 27, already had a deal that didn\u2019t expire until the end of 2027, but the club have acted quickly to secure the playmaker\u2019s future.<\/p>\n

The former Castleford and Hull FC man has produced a try contribution in all but one of his Super League games so far, and has two tries and six assists to his name after seven rounds.<\/p>\n

His improved form will no doubt have seen interest in his services increase, however a new four-year deal sees him become one of five players to have contracts running until the end of 2030.<\/p>\n

Youngsters Harvey Smith and Jayden Myers have deals of the same length, as does prop forward Caleb Hamlin-Uele.<\/p>\n

Current Leeds forward Cameron Smith has agreed to join Trinity from 2027, and he has penned a four-year deal too, which was announced in January.<\/p>\n

Trueman\u2019s efforts as of late has seen boss Daryl Powell deem him worthy of an England call-up, with the head coach saying after the win over Castleford Tigers that \u201che\u2019s potentially one of the best halves in the comp, potentially an international player.\u201d<\/p>\n

Wakefield Trinity extend Jake Trueman\u2019s contract until end of 2030<\/p>\n

Commenting on his new deal, Trueman said: \u201cI\u2019m really happy to secure my future at Wakefield, I\u2019ve loved my time here so far and once the club came to me about extending it was an easy decision.<\/p>\n

\u201cI love the boys and all the coaching staff. I feel like the club is a great place to be now, with Matt leading the club forward and the energy from the fans and the city I\u2019m confident it\u2019s only going to get better.\u201d<\/p>\n

Powell himself added: \u201cIt\u2019s great news for both the club and for \u2018Truey\u2019 that he has agreed to a new deal at the club.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are both looking for consistency over the next few years, and Jake has started this season in an outstanding way in every aspect of his game.<\/p>\n

\u201cI look forward to working with him to help him achieve his rich potential over the coming seasons.\u201d<\/p>\n
