Yesterday Hayne was spotted with Dragons first-five Corey Norman.

Norman posted a photo to Instagram on Tuesday alongside Hayne and another friend, with the caption, “catch ups.”

Hayne played for both the Bati and Australia, he also featured for the Fiji 7s in 2016.

In 2015 he attracted significant attention when he made the switch from one of the NRL’s top players to a rookie in the 2015 NFL season with the San Francisco 49ers.
