Josh Drinkwater is set to leave Warrington Wolves at the end of the 2024 Super League season. The 31-year-old is eager to continue playing in the Super League. So, which clubs could he potentially join in 2025?
Salford Red Devils could be a good fit for Drinkwater, as they will have a vacant halfback spot for the 2025 season. While the Red Devils have a history of discovering talented players from Australia, bringing in Drinkwater would add experience and expertise to the team. However, there might be concerns about whether Drinkwater and Marc Sneyd have too similar playing styles.
Another possible option for Drinkwater is Castleford Tigers. The team has been struggling with their halfback positions in recent years, and Drinkwater could provide the organization and stability they need. Even though signing a 31-year-old player may go against the Tigers’ current transfer policy, a short-term deal could benefit both the club and the player.
Despite the uncertainty surrounding London Broncos’ Super League status for 2024, Drinkwater has previous experience playing for the team. However, the presence of other halfbacks on the roster could make it challenging for Drinkwater to secure a spot. On the other hand, Wakefield Trinity is expected to replace London in the Super League in 2024. This could work in Drinkwater’s favor, especially if current players like Luke Gale and Mason Lino are considering moves elsewhere.
Overall, Drinkwater has a few potential options for his future in the Super League. Each club offers a unique opportunity for the experienced halfback to make an impact and contribute to their success. It will be interesting to see where Drinkwater ends up for the 2025 season and how he will continue to showcase his skills on the field.
