Former Vodafone Fiji Bati fullback and Parramatta Eels captain Jarryd Hayne has quit NRL and is heading to America to trial for the NFL.
The Dally M champion will withdraw from Australia’s Four Nations squad in a bombshell announcement to be confirmed later today.
His move is a major blow to the NRL following the loss of Sam Burgess and Sonny Bill Williams.
It is understood Parramatta was only informed of his decision last night.
Hayne was recently in the United States to look at NFL facilities.
He returned home on the day of the Dally M Awards.
The Daily Telegraph informed Kangaroos coach Tim Sheens of the decision this morning.
Sheens was even surprised saying he was shocked that Hayne did not say anything.
Further details will be announced this afternoon.
