The 19-year-old was among the replacements for last year's MillenniumMagic game, but now he is one of the first names on coach Steve McNamara's team-sheet.
Warrington were without Matt King, Chris Bridge, Simon Grix and Mike Cooper, who all picked up injuries in the opening day MillenniumMagic defeat by Huddersfield Giants in Cardiff.
More than 6, 000 fans watched watched their 4-0 defeat by St Helens at the Brewery Field last season but the expected full house is set to be the biggest rugby league crowd, other than the 'Millennium Magic' showpieces in Cardiff for 14 years.
