A son of a Bulls legend is set to make his NRL debut this weekend.

Rising star Will Pryce, Leon Pryce’s boy, has been handed a start for the Newcastle Knights tomorrow as they face off with Parramatta.

With just ten games of his debut NRL season to go, Pryce will be put under the spotlight as Knights boss Adam O’Brien has confirmed the 21-year-old’s starting birth alongside former Super League star Jackson Hastings in the halves.

17 tries in 45 appearances for the Huddersfield Giants brought England Knights honours for a teenage Pryce who was knocking on the senior England door when the NRL came calling.

But while international team-mate Kai Pearce-Paul has been able to make an immediate senior impact in Australia, Pryce has had to be far more patient – an experience that has seen him mature very quickly as a man and a player.

But his time has arrived and his NRL journey is about to burst into life tomorrow.
