Leeds given visa boost
September 16 2009
Leeds have been boosted with the news that Henry Fa'afili's work permit has come through and can now fly to the UK to start playing.
Fa'afili, a powerful flanker, has been waiting for some time along with Fosi Pala'amo and Mike MacDonald to get their permits to start playing, and the news means that the other two visas could also now be just around the corner
Director of Rugby Andy Key commented, "We are pleased to hear that Henry has been given clearance to arrive.
"We have been in daily contact with all three players and they have had training programmes from the club which they have been doing at home.
"When Henry arrives he will go through our usual testing programme to find out where he is at and then we will take it from there.
"Hopefully we will hear more good news on in the coming days but it is just a question of letting the process take its course."
