(BBC) Sonny Bill Williams will be allowed to cover up the logo of Super League sponsors Betfred on his Toronto Wolfpack jersey for religious reasons.
The cross-code star, who converted to Islam in 2009, previously covered up the logos of banking sponsors while at Super Rugby union side Auckland Blues.
Super League and the title sponsors came to a compromise over the issue.
“I think the matter has been resolved in satisfactory fashion,” said Super League chief executive Robert Elstone.
“I have [to] say a big ‘thank you’ to Betfred for the way they’ve managed this. We suspected it might be an issue but it only really surfaced five or six days ago and Betfred have taken it on, considered it and come up with the right answer and one that works for all parties.”
