Will impressed as a young player with great potential playing for Wakefield’s academy and reserve sides and was snapped by Chris Chester for the 20025 season to join the Leopards’ full-time playing squad. His father Danny was one of the game’s most prolific point-scorers and played alongside Chester in Hull’s Challenge Cup win twenty years ago. Like his dad Will is a left-footed kicker and the opportunity to be coached by Adrian Lam was too good to pass up.

After impressing in preseason Will was rewarded with a contract extension but then suffered a shoulder injury in the testimonial match at Warrington which kept him out of the early part of the season.
