Wakefield Trinity Wildcats have signed Widnes prop Ben Kavanagh on loan until the end of the season.

The 27-year-old, who started his career at Wigan, has made six appearances for the Vikings this season.

The Wildcats are bottom of Super League with just two wins and entertain Halifax in the Challenge Cup on Friday.
