Amir Bourouh has been recalled by Wigan Warriors ahead of the club's clash with Huddersfield Giants.
The hooker has spent the season on loan at Halifax Panthers where he has made an impression for his hometown club, playing regularly for the Championship side.
But Rugby League Live understands the Warriors have now recalled the youngster on the eve of their clash with Huddersfield and will be instantly in contention to play against the Giants.
Wigan only named a 20-man squad for the trip to West Yorkshire, leaving a spot vacant in the squad which Bourouh is set to take.
The 20-year-old, who is off-contract at the end of the season, made a handful of appearances for the club last season before being loaned out for more first-grade experience.
But after impressing for Fax, who are currently fourth in the Championship, he could be handed his latest opportunity tonight.
Sam Powell and Brad O'Neil have been playing hooker in recent games, though Powell did receive treatment for an injury in the win over the Giants last week.
The Warriors are looking for a second-straight win, which would help consolidate fifth position in the Super League table.
