Lipowicz delays NRL move to stay at Wakefield for 2027

Summarised from 3 outlets · Updated 9 Nov, 09:43 · Archive

Wakefield Trinity forward Zac Lipowicz has postponed his move to Perth Bears to remain with the Super League champions for 2027.

Zac Lipowicz has postponed his move to the NRL to remain at Wakefield Trinity for the 2027 Super League season. The 24-year-old forward had agreed a two-year contract to join Perth Bears in the Australian competition but will now delay that move by 12 months.

Lipowicz left Penrith Panthers in Australia at the start of the 2026 season to play for Catalans Dragons, where he featured in 26 matches. He left Les Dracs in August to join Wakefield on loan for the remainder of the season.

The second rower made six appearances for Wakefield, including all three play-off games as Trinity won the Super League Grand Final for the first time. Wakefield director of rugby Ste Mills said: 'Getting Zac back for the 2027 season is a huge boost for the club as he offers great versatility to our squad and we all saw how valuable that was when he joined for a short stint at the end of last season.'
