Wakefield Trinity have confirmed that six stars will depart Belle Vue come the end of the year, including both Liam Hood and Renouf Atoni, who are bound for rivals Castleford Tigers.
Having joined them from Leigh, hooker Hood has been at Wakefield since the beginning of the 2022 campaign, and has amassed 94 appearances in their colours to date.
Scoring 24 tries for Trinity so far, the Bradford-born Scotland international is now on the cusp of 300 senior career appearances.
Kiwi native Atoni meanwhile made the move to Belle Vue from NRL outfit Sydney Roosters ahead of the 2023 campaign.
He played a key role in a 2024 season which saw Daryl Powell’s side complete a clean sweep of major honours in the second tier before their return to Super League was rubber-stamped by IMG.
The 30-year-old has scored 11 tries in 64 appearances for Wakefield across all competitions.
Both Hood and Atoni are among the six players Trinity have now announced will depart at the end of 2025, with both set to link up with Castleford ahead of 2026.

Elsewhere, Josh Griffin – whose move to Super League hopefuls York in 2026 had already been confirmed – is on the list alongside academy graduate Jack Croft.

Griffin returned for a second stint at Belle Vue midway through 2023, and now has more than 300 senior career appearances on his CV.
Utility Croft, who was recently allowed to head out on loan to financially-stricken Salford Red Devils, made his first-team bow for Trinity back in June 2019 against St Helens.
Having returned to the club after a brief stint Down Under in 2023, 61 of his 75 senior appearances to date have come in a Wakefield shirt.
