The Sydney Roosters are set to make a stunning signing - world class English Test winger Ryan Hall.

The Leeds flyer is close to signing a massive deal to replace star winger Blake Ferguson, who last week signed with the Parramatta Eels.

The Roosters have been holding secret talks with Hall for weeks and are close to clinching the deal.

Hall is rated the best winger in England.

Big, strong and powerful, Hall has been an institution at Leeds since 2007, playing 322 games and scoring a phenomenal 229 tries.

That puts him ahead of the great try scorer in Australian league history, Ken Irvine, who bagged 212 tries in the 1950s, ’60s and ‘70s for Norths and Manly.

Hall has also played 38 Tests for England, scoring 36 tries.

He is off contract at Leeds and expected to link up with the Roosters at the start of next season.
