Caleb Hamlin‑Uele is a powerful and athletic prop forward currently starring for Wakefield Trinity in the Super League, where he has rapidly developed into one of the club’s most influential middle forwards. A Glenora Bears junior, Hamlin‑Uele began his rugby league journey in New Zealand, earning selection for the New Zealand Under‑18s and gaining valuable experience in the NZRL National Premiership before pursuing further opportunities abroad.

In 2022, Hamlin‑Uele relocated to Sydney to be closer to his older brother Braden Hamlin‑Uele, continuing his development with the Newtown Jets in the NSW Cup. Across the 2022 and 2023 seasons, he made 37 appearances and scored eight tries, producing a series of dominant performances that placed him firmly on the fringes of NRL selection within the Cronulla Sharks system. His strong leg speed, offloading ability and physical defence marked him as a rising front‑row prospect.

Hamlin‑Uele made the move to the UK ahead of the 2024 season, signing with Wakefield Trinity and making an immediate impact in his debut year. He played 29 matches, scored five tries, and was a central figure in a historic campaign that saw Wakefield secure the 1895 Cup, lift the Championship League Leaders’ Shield, and defeat Toulouse in the Championship Grand Final to complete a treble‑winning season.

Stepping up to Super League in 2025, Hamlin‑Uele continued his strong form, featuring 15 times and scoring five tries before a shoulder injury curtailed his season. Across his first two years at the club, he scored 10 tries in 44 appearances, quickly earning a reputation as a fan favourite for his aggressive carries, high work rate and team‑first mentality.

In recognition of his impact and long‑term potential, Wakefield Trinity rewarded Hamlin‑Uele with a five‑year contract extension in October 2025, securing his future at the club until the end of the 2030 season.
