The highest paid rugby player of all time is set to make his Super League debut in Leeds.
Last month, Sonny Bill Williams joined Toronto Wolfpack on a two-year deal which is believed to be worth around £5 million.
The two-time rugby union World Cup winner and former NRL star is expected to make his first Super League appearance on Sunday, February 2, when Toronto kick off their campaign against Castleford Tigers at Emerald Headingley Stadium at 2.30pm.
Leeds Rhinos will then get their season underway in front of a home crowd, when they play Hull FC at 4.45pm, and fans will be hoping to see new signing Luke Gale in action.
Fans will also see the return of former Rhinos head coach Brian McDermott, who will be taking charge of the newly promoted Canadian side.
After guiding Toronto to a historic promotion, he signed a five-year contract extension over the summer.
Tickets for the eagerly anticipated double header are on sale now and prices start from £24 for adults and £12 for kids.
