The Sydney Roosters have reportedly agreed to play at the World Club Series in England, joining North Queensland and Brisbane in the February tournament.

The Tricolours will be a part of the series which pits the top three sides from the NRL and the Super League against each other.

"It will be a tremendous start to the season," Roosters chief executive Brian Canavan told NewsCorp Australia.

"The players get together and live with each other. It's a group setting which is great for the players and the club. And it's a great promotion for the club."

NRL premiers North Queensland will battle the winner of this weekend's Super League grand final - Wigan or Leeds - in the World Club Challenge.

The third Super League team competing in the February match ups is expected to be announced over the weekend.
