BEN JONES-BISHOP celebrated the end of his barren run and hailed a “massive” two points for depleted Wakefield Trinity as they head into the crucial Easter period.

The former Leeds Rhinos winger scored a brace during Friday’s epic 30-20 victory over champions Wigan Warriors.

It was the first time Jones-Bishop had crossed in seven months, dating back to the final game of last season.

Normally a prolific scorer, he had failed to touch down in any of the opening nine games this term before getting off the mark in a match where Trinity lost four players - Jacob Miller, Reece Lyne, Kyle Wood and Anthony England - to injuries.

“I think it is probably my longest run without a try,” said Jones-Bishop, who finished with 18 last term.

“I still like to think I've been contributing for those 10 rounds so far but it is nice to get over and help us pick up another two points.
