He signed a one-year professional contract with Doncaster in April 2012[3] making his first appearance coming on as a sub in extra time in a first round League Cup game against York City on 11 August 2012 at the Keepmoat Stadium.
In August 2012 he went on loan to Bradford Park Avenue, returning in October after 4 league appearances, and one in the FA Cup qualifier against Curzon Ashton F.C.
Whilst he only made 2 cup appearances for Doncaster in 2012–13, Wakefield was seen as a good prospect and given another years contract till the end of the 2013–14 season.[4] He made his first League appearance coming on as sub for Paul Quinn in the 67th minute at Pride Park in a 3–1 defeat to Derby.[5] With Bongani Khumalo being injured and Paul Quinn moving to central defence, Wakefield had his first start, as right-back, in a 0–3 home defeat to Ipswich.[5]
In an FA Cup game against Stevenage on 5 January 2014, he scored his first goal, chipping the keeper in the last minute of extra time as Rovers were defeated 2–3.[6]
