In a surprising development, former NRL star Jarryd Hayne has announced his return to rugby league by signing a one-year contract with the Wentworthville Magpies for the 2025 season. This marks Hayne’s first professional engagement since 2018, following a period away from the sport due to legal issues.
The Wentworthville Magpies, a feeder team for the Parramatta Eels, compete in the Ron Massey Cup. The club expressed enthusiasm about Hayne’s addition, highlighting his potential to mentor younger players and contribute to the team’s performance. Hayne himself shared his excitement, stating, “I am thrilled to join the Wenty Magpies and look forward to playing in front of my children, which was a significant motivation for my comeback.”
Hayne’s return to the field is scheduled for March 15, 2025, when the Magpies kick off their season. This comeback offers Hayne an opportunity to redefine his legacy and make a positive impact both on and off the field.
While there have been rumors about potential sponsorship deals accompanying Hayne’s return, no official announcements have been made regarding any such agreements.
