I'm happy with this. Young, local lad, Wakefield fan (from what I am led to believe)... it has all the ingredients of a signing you would want. Fingers crossed he can perform when given the opportunity.
I also feel because of the local lad/ wakefield fan connection, fans may be more sympathetic if he doesnt hit the ground running. which will provide him more time to perform and show what he is capable of.
Interestingly, am i right in thinking he came through our youth set up to a point, prior to joining Wigan? does he therefore count as another home grown player Like Kyle Wood does?
