“I’ve loved my time here,” he said. “As soon as I got the option to stay for a few more years by extending my contract, I jumped at it.
“I can’t wait to see what happens over the next four and a half years.”
Wakefield coach Chris Chester said: “It’s fantastic news, especially with all the speculation surrounding our top players. It’s a massive re-signing for the club.
“If you look at the squad now, we’ve pretty much got everyone we want tied down to long-term deals.”
