All Black Sonny Bill Williams has expressed an interest in joining English Super League newcomers Toronto Wolfpack in Canada.

Stuff.co.nz reports the Canadian outfit are on the lookout for big-name signings following their promotion from the second-tier Championship and intends to follow up on their initial approach to the dual-code international once his Rugby World Cup commitments are over.

Coach Brian McDermott said Toronto want to bring in a David Beckham- type player to do for the Wolfpack what the former Manchester United favourite did for LA Galaxy and that Williams fits the bill.
