The 23-year-old second-rower, who starred for his country in the recent Rugby League World Cup, arrived on these shores last month.
The Telegraph & Argus has since reported that teammate George Flanagan has become his unofficial tour guide to help him feel at home.
“When he’s come halfway across the world, he just wants someone there with him to have a chat,” said Flanagan, back in February.
“When I’m off and not working I go and pick him up. I took him to Dudley Hill on the first Saturday after he arrived and then we went to Birkenshaw.
“I wanted him to get used to the environment. He can never understand what I’m saying but I’m sure he’ll get used to me.
“He’s got a girlfriend and a kid back home waiting to come over and me and young George (Flanagan junior) said we’d take Kev out for the day."
