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]
