New Zealand Warriors new recruit Kieran Foran has been named in the 22-man squad to play the Dragons in Wollongong on Sunday.
Foran, who has been battling a shoulder injury since signing for the team last year, will need to receive final clearance by the Warriors' medical team before he is named in the match-day 17-man side.
The 26-year-old's contract with the New Zealand franchise was cleared by the NRL earlier this month, paving the way for the playmaker to finally make his Warriors' debut.
Elsewhere in the side, captain Roger Tuivasa-Sheck is named in the starting line-up after suffering a head knock in the Warriors' loss to the Melbourne Storm.
Tuivasa-Sheck will return to the back with Tui Lolohea shifting out wide to replace Manu Vatuvei who drops out of the side due to injury.
