Chris Annakin given new contract by Wakefield Trinity

The 26-year-old prop or second rower, who came through the academy ranks at Wakefield and turned professional in 2010, has signed a new two-year deal which will keep him at Belle Vue until the end of 2019.

"I am pleased," Annakin said. "It has been something that I have been aiming for. I thought I might have to go part-time at the end of the year but I am delighted that I have a new deal."
