Giant teenage English outside back Dom Young will make just his second appearance in the NRL after being drafted into the Knights side to take on South Sydney at ANZ Stadium on Saturday.
The Newcastle Herald has learned Young will play on the wing following the withdrawal on Friday of Brayden Musgrove after he failed to overcome a groin injury.
It will mean the Knights will go in against the Bunnies with two new wingers after Starford To'a wasn't considered after aggravating a hip injury in last Sunday's loss to Parramatta.
Knights coach Adam O'Brien has shifted regular right centre Enari Tuala to the wing and will start Kurt Mann in the centres.
Young 19, made his top grade debut for the club at centre back in round three in a 24-20 loss to the Wests Tigers and since then, missed a month of footy after undergoing minor knee surgery.
He has played strongly on the wing over the past couple of weeks in NSW Cup.
Knights co-captain Daniel Saifiti will back up and play against Souths following his strong performance for the Blues in Origin on Wednesday night.
Rabbitohs coach Wayne Bennett has opted to rest NSW stars Damien Cook and Cameron Murray but both Latrell Mitchell and Jaydn Su'A will back up. Dane Gagai and Jai Arrow, who also played on Wednesday night, weren't named in the original squad.
