Vodafone Fiji Bati star Jarryd Hayne has already agreed to join Parramatta for the 2018 season but is delaying on telling Gold Coast.

The Daily Telegraph claims Hayne has shaken hands with the Eels and will request a release from the Titans in January, when he is due to return for pre-season training.

But he has not yet informed his current club of the switch because he can still claim contract payments until he officially requests the release.

Parramatta has continually refused to comment on the Hayne speculation, while the man himself has publicly denied he will leave Gold Coast.
