Hard-running centre Bill Tupou has signed a new one-year deal with the Wakefield Trinity Wildcats.
Tupou joined Wakefield in June, one of a number of players brought to the club when Brian Smith took over as coach, and soon became a regular in their 17-man squad.
The 25-year-old former New Zealand Warriors player was also part of the Wildcats team that beat the Bradford Bulls to secure a place in Super League next season.
Tupou said: "I'm very happy to have signed for a year here at Wakefield. It is a great time to be at the club.
"It is fascinating to be working under Brian Smith, I learnt so much from him in a short space of time last season and I am looking forward to continuing this learning process in 2016."
Smith said: "Bill settled quickly into our team mid-season, largely based on his powerhouse running of the ball.
"With more time together with his team-mates in preparation, we are likely to have an even bigger and stronger series of performances from Bill."
