Newton tested positive for a banned substance in November and after being charged by United Kingdom Anti-Doping (UKAD), he admitted taking human growth hormone (HGH) in a statement via his solicitors on Friday.

He could now face a two-year ban for the offence.

A statement from Wakefield read: "Following a UK Anti-Doping investigation and Terry Newton's admission that he breached the RFL's Doping Control Regulations his contract with the Wakefield Trinity Wildcats has been cancelled with immediate effect.

"Wakefield Trinity Wildcats are fully supportive of the RFL's principles of a drug-free sport and the club works hard to inform its players through the '100% ME' campaign about the dangers of drugs and consequences of taking drugs, or breaching the Anti-Doping Regulations."
