Prop Adam Walker has joined Super League Wakefield on a two-and-a-half year deal.
The 26-year-old arrives from St Helens and goes straight into Trinity's first-team squad.
Walker started his top-tier career with Huddersfield Giants in 2013, before moving to Hull KR three years later.
He moved to Saints during the 2016 season, playing nine times for the Merseyside club, and has now opted to cross the Pennines to BelleVue.
Wakefield's head coach Chris Chester said: "I have worked with Adam [Walker] for a number of years, and we have got a good relationship.
"He is one of the best young British forwards in Super League and we have beaten off a host of other Super League clubs for his signature.
"I would like to thank St Helens and Michael [Carter] for making this deal happen and I am sure he will become a fans favourite at the club for many years."
Walker added: "I have known Chris most of my professional playing career, I met him when I played for Scotland about six or seven years ago and I know what to expect from him and he knows what to expect from me, so I am looking forward to playing under him again."
We have beaten off a host of other Super League clubs for his signature.
Wakefield chairman Michael Carter said: "I am delighted we have managed to secure Adam for the next two-and-half years.
"I would just like to thank Eamonn McManus and Mike Rush at St Helens and Martin Shuttleworth, Adam's agent, for concluding this deal quickly. Our squad is shaping up very nicely."
