The arrival of Valentine Holmes into the Cowboys won’t stop North Queensland from pursuing Roosters try-scoring star Latrell Mitchell.

Cowboys coach Paul Green revealed that talks with Mitchell are still ongoing.

North Queensland were expected to pull out of the race for the 22-year-old’s signature after signing former Cronulla flyer Holmes on a six-year deal from 2020 believed to be worth almost $1 million a season.

But after officially unveiling Holmes as a Cowboys player, Green did not dismiss speculation that Mitchell could join his new recruit next year.

Green indicated that there was still interest from Mitchell.

The question still lingers where Mitchell, who is keen to play fullback next season, would fit into the Cowboys backline with Holmes set to feature in the No.1 jersey.

The 2020 NRL Season is set to kick off in March next year.
