Fit-again Tom Johnstone gives Wakefield Trinity huge boost
Arguably the most exciting finisher in the competition, Johnstone suffered an anterior cruciate ligament injury in May, 2017 and was dealt a similar blow last March.
He has played two comeback games in pre-season, against Friday's round one hosts Hull KR and then Huddersfield Giants and insists he feels “really good” as he gets ready to go again.

“I felt a lot better with carries and after the game I had no pain in my knee so I was really happy with how it went.
“I am feeling really good physically, my legs are feeling good, my upper body is feeling good and I am raring to go.”
The lessons of his first injury were learned the second time, Johnstone added.
