England winger Tom Johnstone has spoken of his anguish at former club Wakefield Trinity’s relegation, but tipped them to make a rapid return.
Trinity will play in the Betfred Championship next season after finishing bottom of Super League. Johnstone, a product of the Stanningley community club in Leeds, scored 81 tries in 106 Super League games for Wakefield from 2015-2022 before joining Catalans Dragons a year ago. He admitted Trinity’s plight this year, when they won only four games, “hurt to watch”, but reckons they are building a brighter future under new coach Daryl Powell and owner Matt Ellis.
” Johnstone was plagued by injuries during his Wakefield career, but got through his debut season at Catalans unscathed and featured in the Super League Grand Final loss to Wigan Warriors as well all three of England’s Test wins against Tonga. He was also named in the 2023 Super League Dream Team and shortlisted for the Man of Steel award. He reflected: “I played 32 games, which is unheard of for me. My aim was just to try to get fit and play as many games as possible.
