He has played for Hull F.C. in two separate spells and the Wakefield Trinity Wildcats in the Super League, and on loan from Hull at Doncaster in Betfred League 1. He played as a stand-off earlier in his career.

Background

Washbrook was born in Kingston upon Hull, Humberside, England.

Career

Hull reached the 2006 Super League Grand final to be contested against St. Helens, and Washbrook played at loose forward in his side's 4–26 loss.[4]

He signed a three-year deal at Super League club Wakefield Trinity, following Hull Coach Richard Agar.

On 4 May 2014, Washbrook made his 200th career appearance. His current club, Wakefield Trinity, beat his former club, Hull, on his milestone.[5]

On 13 August 2015 Hull re-signed Washbrook on a two-year deal, with coach Lee Radford saying he returns a better player than the last time he was at the club. Washbrook can play loose forward or cover Danny Houghton at hooker and cover in the centres despite not being a centre by trade.

He played in the 2016 Challenge Cup Final victory over the Warrington Wolves at Wembley Stadium.[6][7]

He played in the 2017 Challenge Cup Final victory over the Wigan Warriors at Wembley Stadium.[8]
