Kyle Eastmond in line for Leeds Rhinos debut against Wigan Warriors

Kyle Eastmond could make his Leeds Rhinos debut on Thursday after being named in the club's 21-man squad to face Wigan Warriors.

The dual-code halfback joined the club last month but has been kept out of the squad since his arrival.

Richard Agar has stated that the halfback is closing in on a return to the field after almost a decade away, and now appears set to feature in the Super League clash with the Warriors.

He looks likely to partner Liam Sutcliffe in the halves after he overcame a knee problem while Bodene Thompson has recovered from a rib injury.

Zane Tetevano is also in the squad despite receiving a Grade D disciplinary charge, though the Rhinos have appealed the offence. The hearing takes place tonight.

17-year-old after Levi Edwards is also included, while Morgan Gannon has retained his place.

King Vuniyayawa (concussion) and Luke Gale (thumb) both drop out.

Rhinos ' 21-man squad: T Briscoe, Oledzki, Leeming, Prior, Mellor, Martin, Tetevano, Dwyer, L Sutcliffe, Smith, Thompson, A Sutcliffe, Walters, L Briscoe, Donaldson, O'Connor, Broadbent, Hall, Edwards, Gannon, Eastmond.
