**Jarryd Hayne Set to Re-Join Parramatta Eels After Gaining Release from Gold Coast Titans**
Former Dally M Medal winner Jarryd Hayne is set to make a return to the Parramatta Eels after securing a release from the Gold Coast Titans. The two-time Eels Player of the Year has reached an agreement with the Titans to exit the final year of his contract, paving the way for a homecoming to the club where he made his NRL debut in 2006.
Hayne’s return to Parramatta comes after a turbulent stint with the Titans, where he struggled to replicate the form that made him one of the game’s most electrifying players. After leaving the NRL in 2015 to pursue an NFL career with the San Francisco 49ers, Hayne returned to the league in 2016, signing a lucrative deal with Gold Coast. However, his tenure was marred by inconsistency and off-field controversies, leading to speculation about his future.
Parramatta, which has been seeking an experienced playmaker to bolster its backline, sees Hayne’s return as a major coup. Coach Brad Arthur has reportedly been instrumental in facilitating the move, believing the 29-year-old can add firepower to the Eels’ attack.
Despite questions surrounding his form and fitness, Hayne remains one of the most naturally gifted players in the NRL. His ability to break defensive lines and create scoring opportunities could be crucial for the Eels as they look to build on their promising 2017 campaign.
The deal is expected to be finalized in the coming days, with Hayne likely to join pre-season training immediately. Parramatta fans will be hoping he can recapture the brilliance that saw him lead the club to the 2009 Grand Final and re-establish himself as one of the league’s premier talents.
