The former Brisbane Broncos forward was due to arrive in England before Christmas but has been thwarted by red tape. The second-row forward, whose father was born in Huddersfield, applied for a British passport but also needed a national police certificate to prove he does not have a criminal record.

Leeds chief executive Gary Hetherington said: "It has been quite a drawn-out process but I'm delighted to say that Greg has now received his certificate and that has now been sent off to complete the process at Canberra."

He added: "Greg has spoken directly to the authorities and they have assured him they will give his application their stamp of approval and return it immediately.

"He is expecting to be in possession of that by the end of the week, which will enable him to jump on a plane and join us.

"We have been in daily contact with Greg and I know he cannot wait to get here and start his new life with the Rhinos, and we can't wait to have him here."

If he arrives by the weekend, Eastwood will fly out with the Rhinos to Florida on Monday, otherwise he will catch a flight to Jacksonville from Brisbane via Los Angeles and Chicago.
