Great Britain Rugby League centre Martin Gleeson is to switch codes to Rugby Union.
The 32-year-old Gleeson has been capped 28 times and plans to make the switch as soon as he completes an 18-month drug suspension.
Gleeson, who will be following in the footsteps of Jason Robinson and Andy Farrell, has admitted that the time is right for him to make the change.
"I've had a few opportunities to go to Union over the years but now is the perfect time to make the move," Gleeson told The Rugby Paper.
"There are a lot of clubs interested in me but nothing can be done before November."
Wigan-born Gleeson will be allowed to begin training with potential clubs from August 12.
