The man behind the phenomenon that is the Toronto Wolfpack is set to launch two more North America rugby league sides.
Eric Perez, the owner of the Toronto based rugby league team, is in advanced talks with two professional sports clubs, believed to be in Hamilton and Boston, and will begin negotiations with the Rugby Football League in the next few days.
"I'm hoping that within the next six months we can make a formal announcement," Perez told BBC Sport.
"I can't really say where they are right now," he added.
"I don't know where the Hamilton rumour came from, but it would be a logical choice. Hamiton is about an hour away from Toronto. There's about a million people in the area, but between Toronto and Hamilton there are 12 million people.
"I can't confirm or deny (Boston), but you are very well informed. It's a good speculation, but there could be other cities in the mix."
Toronto began this season in League 1, England's third-tier competition. The Wolfpack only lost one game all season and were promotedย to the Championship at the end of the season.
With one team up and running, Perez now says it's time to move to the next stage of the project.
"When we started this journey, we knew that one team is not enough to yield what you need to yield from the market." he said. "To bring revenues, to really start bringing new money into the sport you've got to have multi-markets.
"To bring revenues, to really start bringing new money into the sport you've got to have multi-markets.
"Now that Toronto is up and running and in a very good place - definitely the strongest team commercially outside of Super League - it's time to fulfil that destiny and get the next teams set up."
