Former NRL star signs on with Central Coast side

Former NRL star Jarryd Hayne will try his hand at yet another sport after signing with local Central Coast football team East Gosford.

The 31-year-old, who was unable to pick up an NRL contract this season amid sexual assault allegations, could turn out for his new club this weekend as revealed by The Sunday Telegraph.

It will be Hayne's fourth football code in the past five years, having tried his hand in the NFL and Rugby 7s before returning to the NRL.

Hayne is the second exiled rugby league star to turn to the round ball, with Ben Barba – who was slapped with a life ban in February over a domestic violence incident – playing striker for a side in Mackay.
