Former Whitehaven favourite Lachlan Walmsley has left Halifax to sign for Wakefield.
The relegated Super League side are preparing for life in the Championship under new coach Daryl Powell and have paid an undisclosed fee for the 25-year-old.
He scored 68 tries in 54 games during his two-year stay at Halifax following an impressive spell with Whitehaven when he scored 15 tries in the 2021 season.
Walmsley, who was born in Australia but has represented Scotland on four occasions, joins Jermaine McGillvary and Iain Thornley among the fresh faces at Trinity.
Whitehaven had tried to keep Walmsley for another season, making him a very good offer, but he opted to join the Panthers along with French half-back Louis Jouffret.
