Super League news: Mikey Sio leaves Wakefield by mutual consent

Forward Mikey Sio has left Wakefield by mutual consent.

Sio joined Trinity from Queensland Cup side Mackay Cutters in June 2015 and became a first-team regular.

But he made only nine appearances last season and finished the year on loan with Championship club Halifax.

"I have thoroughly enjoyed my time here at Wakefield," said the 24-year-old. "I learnt a lot as a player under both Brian Smith and Chris Chester.

"There is a good bunch of lads at the club who made me feel extremely welcome and at home and I will definitely miss the camaraderie within the team.

"I would like to thank the fans for their support. They welcomed me with open arms and even now when I walk around the town they stop me for a chat.

"I would have to say that Wakefield Trinity are a club with the most passionate fans."

Chairman Michael Carter added: "I would like to thank Mikey for his service to the club since arriving at a difficult time in 2015.

"His contribution was invaluable at that time and I wish him every success in the future."
