Wakefield Trinity tie down 'one of best back-rowers in Super League'

The back-rower's contract was due to expire next season but he will now remain at Belle Vue until at least the end of 2031.

Vagana – son of Bradford Bulls legend Joe – has established himself as an important member of Daryl Powell's pack in recent seasons.

The 26-year-old has made 53 appearances for Wakefield, including 33 at Super League level.

Vagana is targeting silverware after jumping at the chance to continue his journey with Trinity.

"I was caught off guard initially when I received the offer but I've always made it known to Daryl and Millsy (Ste Mills, director of rugby) that this is a club that I hold very dear and want to stay at for a long time," said Vagana.

"My partner and I are enjoying our time over here in Wakefield and it was a no-brainer to extend our stay.

"As a team, we’re continually getting better. I want to be a part of the team that wins competitions with Wakefield Trinity."

Vagana becomes the latest key figure to extend his stay, following in the footsteps of the likes of Caleb Hamlin-Uele and Jake Trueman.

Powell views Vagana as a leading player in his position.

"Isaiah came into the club as a pretty raw player and has been outstanding for us, this year especially," said the Trinity boss.

"This feels like a re-signing that is big for the club. He’s growing not only physically but mentally as well.

“For me, he is up there and will be up there as one of the best back-rowers in Super League.

"He's a great kid who works hard and everything about him makes him someone that you just want around the club."
