Wakefield Trinity great Jay Pitts lands new role in rugby league after recent retirement

Former Wakefield Trinity loose forward Jay Pitts has joined Distinct Rugby as an agent following his retirement from playing. The 36-year-old concluded his nearly two-decade career in October after lifting the Grand Final trophy at Old Trafford. In his new agency role, Pitts will manage player contract negotiations, movements, and career guidance, working alongside fellow former players Iestyn Harris and Kevin Brown.

The agency venture comes alongside Pitts's previously announced position at Wakefield Trinity. He will continue to serve the club as their pathways and transition manager, focusing on preparing emerging players for the transition to the Super League level after spending nine years at Belle Vue across two separate playing stints.
