TITANS: Hayne hasn’t told us anything
SUPERSTAR Jarryd Hayne wants to quit the Gold Coast Titans after a tumultuous 12 months.
The Daily Telegraph can reveal his agent Wayne Beavis has informed the Titans he is now looking for opportunities elsewhere.
It is more to do with personal issues, rather than any animosity towards the Titans or new coach Garth Brennan.
It is believed Hayne wants to return to Sydney be closer to his daughter, Beliviah Ivy.
Hayne is on a $1 million contract on the Gold Coast.
Titans officials have told Beavis that Hayne is expected back at training in January after the World Cup and the Christmas break.
A source told The Daily Telegraph Beavis was now looking at all possibilities in Sydney, where Hayne wants to live.
Hayne has since taken to Twitter to deny he instructed his manager to speak to Sydney clubs.
Beavis was unavailable for comment this morning.
Beavis is in an awkward position as he is no longer an accredited agent and can only act as a consultant to Hayne.
He will need assistance to get Hayne a deal with another club.
It is believed Beavis is exploring all options including rugby union but Hayne’s preference is to be in Sydney
Hayne made his NRL debut in 2007 with Parramatta and won two Dally M medals with the club before leaving to embark on an NFL career at the end of 2014.

After a stint with the San Francisco 49ers and a brief dalliance with rugby sevens, Hayne returned to league with the Titans in late 2016, helping the club to their first finals appearance since 2010.
Hayne took up an option in his contract earlier this year to extend his stay on the Gold Coast until the end of 2018.
However the 2017 NRL season ended on a sour note after he had a public falling out with coach Neil Henry, before the veteran mentor was sacked by the club.
New Titans coach Garth Brennan has already spoken about the manner in which he will need to handle the two-time Dally M medallist.
