Background

Wingfield signed from Blackbrook ARLFC and came through the Saints scholarship programme. He also spent 2014 to 2016 with the Parramatta Eels.

Career

Wingfield made his first team début for St Helens as a second-row against the Salford Red Devils on 26 Oct 2020.[3] Due to end-of-season fixture congestion caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, Saints fielded a very young side, resting the majority of first team players, in preparation of their derby match against the Wigan Warriors just four days later. On 24 September 2022, Wingfield played for St Helens in their 2022 Super League Grand Final victory over Leeds.[4] On 18 February 2023, Wingfield played in St Helens 13-12 upset victory over Penrith in the 2023 World Club Challenge.[5]

Wingfield scored his first senior try coming off the bench in a match against Halifax in The Betfred Challenge Cup which resulted in a St Helens victory 6-26. Wingfield played eight games for St Helens in the 2023 Super League season as the club finished third on the table.[6]
