Sky sources report that Sam Tomkins is set to make his long awaited return to Super League for Wigan against Hull FC on Friday, live on Sky Sports 3.

The 27-year-old England international full-back has re-joined his hometown club but has yet to play this season, having sustained a knee ligament injury while playing for New Zealand Warriors last year.

However, Tomkins recently returned to training and now looks set to make his first appearance for Wigan since 2013.

Having moved to the NRL for a world record fee, Tomkins spent two years with the Warriors, but it was announced last year that he would leave at the end of the 2015 season.

He had an operation on the knee injury just before Christmas but Wigan coach Shaun Wane said last week that Tomkins was training every day and would be back in action soon.
