NRL clubs are reportedly eyeing Wallabies player Tom Wright as a potential addition, according to a report by zerotackle.com.
The interest comes amid a recent trend of rugby union stars making the transition to the NRL, with players like Mark Nawaqanitawase, Carter Gordon, and Nathan Lawson already making the move.
Additionally, New Zealanders Will Warbrick and Moses Leo have also been successful at the Melbourne Storm.
The recent exodus of players such as Joseph Suaalii and Joseph Manu from the NRL to rugby union contrasts with this trend, but the success of rugby union players in the NRL could encourage other clubs to pursue similar pathways.
A Code Sports report indicates that an unnamed NRL club has approached Wright about a possible return to the league.
Wright has prior NRL experience, having begun his career with the club in 2016, where he played four games before transitioning to rugby union in 2018.
