FORMER NRL star Jarryd Hayne has an NFL team and will officially start training in the New Year.
Arriving home in Sydney today, the ex-Parramatta fullback said he
had held a joint session in San Diego in front of 12 US franchises a
fortnight ago. He has since toured facilities of a number of teams,
including Seattle, Detroit and San Francisco.The 26-year-old couldn’t confirm the team, but said “you will find out in the due course”.
“The biggest hurdle was the visa and they can’t get it sorted out until just after Christmas,” Hayne told the Daily Telegraph.
“That’s the main reason I have come home, because there is no point if I can’t be with the team.
“You can’t even be in the facility for longer than 24 hours if you haven’t signed a contract and I couldn’t sign a contract without a VISA.
“So we’ll have that sorted after Christmas and then in the New Year I’ll have a team.
