I'm sure he will do well and develop his game... And in the modern era this is the best way for him and the club.

However as a old fogey... I used to get great pleasure in watching kids develop through the reserves into the first team. I can't get excited about one of our young players pulling on another team's colours.

Maybe we are freeing up space.
But I hope he develops and comes back to take a first team spot

that he has gone on an immediate - full season loan, you may have something... one can only speculate! wonder if we are looking at someone like Jack Walker for a season?

Given Hunslet are part time, how does that work? will he still train with us during the day and then again as a part time trainer? Or is he just a Hunslet (part time) player for the whole season? does he come under our welfare and health care? If he is injured ... where does he do his rehab?

no issues... just interested

Strange one this. Seems a bit of a backward step for the lad.

He’ll train with the full time squad at Wakefield and link up with Hunslet for their training too. His welfare will still rest at Trinity so his rehab should he need it will be at Wakefield Trinity with our facilities and our physios.
There will be a clause that allows us to bring him back if we feel his development and well being isn’t being taken care of at Hunslet.


It’s not a backward step if he makes their first team and plays 20 to 30 League One games in one of his preferred positions.

Yes Powell explained this last season.
The player trains with us except when they do their training sessions and game.
He'll still spend a lot of time at the club.

Honestly thought he’d be one player to pull on the shirt on DR for Batley regularly.

If it’s a loan then I’d imagine Hunslet would be paying a good chunk of his salary and getting a good player.

I have a feeling that the club are working on a quality signing. Nothing other than a gut feeling though.

As mentioned above. If he plays 20/30 games at championship level then he will benefit I’m sure. It’s down to him and if he plays well he will get his shot at SL.
