Lesley Vainikolo starts his rugby union adventure at the same venue where his Super League career draws to a close - Headingley.

The Volcano' makes his final Bulls appearance at Leeds next Friday before taking up his contract with Gloucester.

But the prolific winger makes a quick return to the home of the Rhinos as his new team kick off their Guinness Premiership campaign there against Leeds Carnegie on Sunday September 16.

The Headingley game is set to be his full debut and the Cherry and Whites could also have another former Bull in their ranks on opening day - Karl Pryce.

Leeds' recruitment has largely been restricted to signing players from National League One - four having arrived from Rotherham.
