Yes, he did but he never played first-team due to borrowing the club's minibus without their permission. So as I say he's an anomaly but you'd have to be fairly pedantry not to say he's a Wakefield product.

I thought we had Feather back on a permanent basis?


Seem to remember it being a loan for some reason. His career stats for that period show Leeds 2003, 2006 with Wakey 2004 and 2005.

Tom Haughy?? came from Doncaster I think,

Feather is from Keighley but I don't know whether he signed directly to us, I have it in the back of my head that he was at Leeds at some point as a youth but I can't be sure.

His Wiki says he came through the ranks at Wakefield but which rank he started at I don't know.


Squad picture of 1999 Academy posted on Heritage Facebook dated May 17th 2017 confirms Haughey as being signed from Keighley Albion. No mention of Chris Feather but plenty of other fresh faced youngsters.

I'm not skilled enough to post the photo unfortunately. :(

For me if he played age group rugby for us, we coached him over a period of say 2 years it was our investment and he's home grown. I don't think you need to play a first team game to be classed as home grown.

No that’s true and that’s why I said he’s an anomaly. Under normal circumstances he would have gone on to play his first senior game for us but he didn’t. So in essence we waited six years for his debut for us and the chance to call our scrum half a home grown player.

Think thts a good way tolook at it.i think it fair to day while we have produced handfull of ok players and thats no dispespect to thosr players but we havent really produced anyoe who really sets the game alight for15 years plus maybe TJ as 1 expecptionif he really produced by ud

There is no question that TJ was produced by us, his links to Leeds are utterly minimul.

At present, the club has never had more homegrown players of genuine ability in its ranks, certainly since SL began.

Regular first team

Max Jowitt
Tom Johnstone
Kyle Wood
Jay Pitts
James Batchelor
Jorden Crowther
Lee Kershaw

Fringe players (all have played first team)

Jack Croft
Yusuf Aydin
Oliie Greensmith
Harry Bowes
Conner Bailey

Yet to debut (I think)

Dane Windrow
Sam Eseh
Pat O'Donovan

That's 15 of our squad homegrown, seven of whom are regulars, one of whom IMHO is when fit IS the best in his position in the SL. To me, that's pretty impressive for a club that generally can't compete with the cheque book.

Feather started at Leeds then left us for Leeds again before finally coming back.

I seem to remember watching Brought play once or twice before he got the sack, maybe a couple of pre season friendlies, but he certainly played.
