Jarryd Hayne, the former rugby league star, has ignited speculation about a potential comeback to professional sports after being spotted training with celebrated sprint coach Roger Fabri in Sydney.
Hayne, who last appeared in the NRL in 2018 with the Parramatta Eels, was seen sprinting on a football field in a video shared by Fabri, known for coaching prominent NRL players like James Tedesco and Josh Addo-Carr.
Fabri’s social media post further increased the buzz, stating, “You thought it was over!!! You don’t even know what Jarryd Hayne is going to do.”
This news follows Hayne’s release from prison on June 12, after the NSW Court of Criminal Appeal overturned his convictions. He had served over a year for two counts of sexual intercourse without consent, stemming from an incident during the NRL grand final night in 2018.
Hayne’s protracted legal journey, which involved three trials across six years, concluded with him regaining freedom and gradually returning to his family life, although he had kept a low profile until this recent development.
