Wakefield Trinity Wildcats

Wakefield Trinity are a professional rugby league club based in Wakefield, West Yorkshire. They play in the Superleague.

In 1873 a group of young men from the local Holy Trinity Church formed the Wakefield Trinity club. One of the initial forces in the game, Trinity won the Yorkshire Cup four times in nine years and was one of the initial 22 clubs to form the Northern Union after the acrimonious split from the Rugby Football Union in 1895.

They are sometimes referred to simply as 'Wakey'.

They wear white with red and blue trims.
