Any news on when/if we'll see him in a Trin shirt again?

Worlds worst kept secret

However, good luck Tom

Prob not but he will keep getting his wage while we battle relagation

Mrs BG will be gutted..........

Thanks for the memories Tom

Good luck Tom, you've been fantastic for our club, all the best now go get yourself some medals

Unlikely- he broke his hand signing the contract.

Apparently Shuds wanted him but he said he had had enough of playing in an empty stadium

Who’s next to go ?

Unfortunate but not entirely unexpected. Not like he was a regular of late either. The world hasn’t stopped turning, Wakefield Trinity and life moves on.

I wish Tom all the best and thank him for the unbelievable tries he had scored.
We move on however and I like the look of Murphy and Evans . I think we’re ok in that department so they’d be my first choice wingers from now on.

Wakefield Trinity can confirm that Tom Johnstone will leave the club at the expiration of his contract join Catalans Dragons.
I know statistics can be twisted and Tom wouldn’t have played many game for the first couple of years, but 116:appearances in 10 years, ave 11.6 games a season, although well worth the money when he did play

Johnstone, who is out of contract at the end of the season, has opted to join the French club, bringing an end to his 10-year stay at Trinity.

The winger, who has scored 87 tries in 116 appearances for Trinity, made his first-team debut in 2015 and quickly established himself as a regular in that side.

Good luck for the future Tom. It was to be expected but lets not pretend it isn’t a blow. Getting him on the field has always been a problem but when he was he has been a true match winner, we’d have been in a much bigger hole without him. There is also the image to the outside world of us losing our best players again. Still it is what it is, Miller the next out of the door i reckon.

A rare talent. I have watched this team since the 60's and he is right up there with some of the greats.this had to happen at some point as we all knew he would go to pastures new sooner or later.

Yes Miller next
Then Batch and in some ways I am more upset about loosing Batch than Tom.

Good luck Tom we are well covered on the outside young Murphy is looking the business as a replacement

Batch has impressed me recently and some of the tackles he put in on Sunday were top drawer so I get where you’re coming from.
Tom Is an unbelievable talent I sincerely wanted to stay but he’s decided otherwise. I wish he was staying but how many times has he been on the park this season? It was said at the last match Catalans we’re paying Trinity not to play him!
May be ridiculous but it’s either that or the injury is genuine - either way I’d stick with Murphy and Evans ( who didn’t look at all out of place against Wigan!)-

A rare talent pure box office, good luck you have served your time now show what you can do with a team who may pass you the ball or create overlaps.

One of the best players to come out of the youth system … a freakish talent

Enjoy life in France mate

All the best Tom ,In my top 10 wingers I have seen for Wakefield after watching them for 67 year.

Glad it’s finally been announced, felt like it’s dragged on abit for what ever reason. Best winger I’ve seen in my time as a Wakey fan and fortunate enough to see one of the best individual displays at Belle vue when he literally single hand-idly beat Salford for us, albeit for 40 mins.

Let’s be honest here , a fantastic world class player whilst on the pitch but has spent far too much time on the physio table and as a club we simply can’t afford that luxury . Will be interesting watching him at les cats and seeing how he goes in a top quality team . In hindsight for me we should have cashed our chips in earlier and got something for him ,but I’m more than happy with the wingers we have at present , along with Kay and kershaw who will come back on stream shortly .exciting times ahead with comings and goings and a shaking up of the club

Still 7 tries in 10 games this year thats still probably our highest scorer this year and how many more if had been fitter this year

I’m glad it’s sorted I think we all knew it was over after the Cas debacle.

Best player in relation to his position I have seen in my time watching Trinity. The only out and out WOW player we’ve had. A true entertainer.

Although I hope he goes on to win trophies I think we got the best of him. The club certainly got a return on its investment.

Thanks Tom it’s been an absolute pleasure.

This is the world's worst secret.

Been a good player for us, and on his day, a match winner.

Having said that, due to injuries, only averaging something like 16/17 games a season. Need your key players playing in more games than that.

Without sounding harsh, a bit of brass will be saved on the medical bill.

Good luck Tom
