On 24 September 2022, Wingfield played for St Helens in their 2022 Super League Grand Final victory over Leeds.[4] On 18 February 2023, Wingfield played in St Helens 13-12 upset victory over Penrith in the 2023 World Club Challenge.[5]

Wingfield played eight games for St Helens in the 2023 Super League season as the club finished third on the table.[6] Wingfield was limited to just eight matches for St Helens in the 2024 Super League season which saw the club finish sixth on the table.[7]
