Wakefield Trinity have signed Australian hooker Tyson Smoothy for the 2026 season.

Smoothy will join Wakefield on a three-year contract from NRL side Brisbane Broncos.

The 25-year-old has played 31 times for the Broncos, including in their Grand Final defeat to Penrith Panthers in 2023.

“Managing to get Tyson’s signature is a huge coup for Wakefield Trinity,” recruitment manager Ste Mills told the Super League club’s website.

“Signing a regular NRL player who’s coming into his prime shows you where the club is heading and how everyone is buying into a common goal.”

Wakefield are seventh on their Super League return with a win and a loss and they play St Helens on Saturday (14:30 GMT).
