The Sydney Roosters are set to offer former premiership winning centre Michael Jennings a career lifeline on a train and trial contract for 2024 after his three year doping ban.
The Daily Telegraph reported the Roosters are set to offer 35-year-old Jennings a chance to resurrect his NRL career three years after he last played for the Eels in 2020.
The Roosters are well stocked at centre with Joey Manu and Joseph Suaalii the starting pair, but both are entering the final years of their deals and Jennings could play a role if injuries strike in the outside backs.
Jaxson Paulo (Sea Eagles), Paul Momirovski (Leeds Rhinos) and Corey Allan have both left the Roosters after 2023, which has opened up some squad spots out wide.
Jennings wants to return to rugby league and finish his career on his own terms.
Jennings was originally suspended on October 9, 2020 after testing positive on a drug test.
The Roosters are showing a great deal of compassion in offering Jennings a second chance, demonstrating the true spirit of the rugby league community.
