Jarryd Hayne says a promise of a return to fullback was vital in his decision to commit to stay with Gold Coast next NRL season.
Shunted to the centres in recent weeks, the NSW Origin star will again play there in Saturday’s clash with North Queensland.
But he says he was assured he’ll ultimately be restored to fullback when he invoked the final year of his $1.2 million a year contract with the Titans this week.
“It’s the position I like and the one I feel the most comfortable at… it was a key in me re-signing,” said Hayne.
“That’s where I see myself and it was good to get the club’s thoughts on where they saw me in the future.”
