He was released by Leeds in summer 2011, and was signed by Rugby Lions. Wackett won the league with the Lions in his first season. He was a regular fixture in Lions' title-winning side, and proved a popular figure with the fans. Injury kept him out of most of the end of the season. After the Lions had completed their phenomenal league season - in which they won every game - Wackett was interviewed by the Rugby Advertiser, saying "The squad started as individuals and came together as a squad who played good rugby against some tough opposition."
