NATHAN BROWN is looking at Larne Patrick to take Super League XVII by storm.

The 23-year-old utility forward celebrated another fine season by gaining an England Knights call.

Patrick was forced to pull out of the Knights’ autumn international against France in order to rest a long-standing neck problem.

That course of action appears to have paid off, with Patrick having been training well throughout pre-season as he again looks to share his on-field time between prop and second row.

And Brown is confident that hard work will be reflected in his performances.

“Larne has been training really well, as he always does,” said Brown.
