13 Top moments from Joel Monaghan's five-year career with the Wire

The winger has scored 141 tries in his 143 games for the Wire winning the League Leader's Shield in 2011, the Challenge Cup in 2012 and making two appearances in the Grand Final in 2012 and 2013.

Here are some of our favourite moments from his career.

If there were any doubts over whether Joel would be a success after he replaced the prolific Chris Hicks, they were soon dispelled.

This his first touchdown against Huddersfield as the Magic Weekend opened the season in Cardiff.

This try came in a 39-12 home thumping of Wigan in September as Wolves moved to the top of the Super League table.

5 Magic moments in Manchester

Magic Weekend moved to Manchester for the first time and it would be a successful venue for the Wolves.

Monaghan scored a remarkable five tries in a 68-4 battering of local rivals Widnes

6 Wembley wonders

Wolves won the Challenge Cup for the third time in four years by beating Leeds Rhinos at Wembley.

And Joel got the team off to the perfect start before celebrating with brother Michael after the game.

7 Grand Final heartbreak

Wolves faced the Rhinos again at Old Trafford after beating St Helens in the semi-final. But there was to be no repeat of the Wembley heroics as Leeds won 26-18. Monaghan did score though, his 29th of another extraordinary campaign.

8 Old Trafford return

Joel touches down twice as a home win over Huddersfield sees a return to Old Trafford booked.

It was the highlight of a 30-22 win.

9 Injury woe

Hopes were high of a first Grand Final win for the Wolves as Monaghan was among the try scorers as Wolves raced to a 16-2 lead over derby rivals Wigan.

But his injury just before half time heralded the start of a Wigan fightback which saw them run out 2016 winners. Monaghan scored 31 tries in 30 games in 2013.

10 Saints smashed

The Joel and Michael Monaghan song became a Magic Weekend tradition. And the fans had plenty to cheer about as Joel scored twice in this 41-24 thumping of St Helens

11 Semi-final woe

Few thought he had scored but Joel was sure as touched down for Wolves first in the play-offs semi-final at Wigan. A last gasp Wigan try though broke Wolves hearts.

His record in the 2014 season was a remarkable 38 tries in 31 games

12 Just in time

2015 saw Joel takeover as captain. It would be a difficult season at the Halliwell Jones but his try with seconds to go against Widnes was among the highlights.

13 Still scoring

It may not have been his most prolific season but he scored twice in a first Super 8s win over Hull in his penultimate home game.

That would take him to 13 for the season
