SUPER LEAGUE is set to have a new referee making his debut this weekend as Hull FC take on Huddersfield Giants.
Having officiated in the Championship for a number of years, Australian referee Joe Vella is set to be thrust into the top-flight limelight for the first time on Saturday afternoon.
A member of the St George Referees Society back in Australia, 34-year-old Vella will be given a shot to impress after going full-time in 2022.
