Former Wallabies and Waratahs' fullback Israel Folau is being linked with a return to rugby league again.
This time the target of an ambitious New York-based start-up side, claims The Australian Daily Telegraph.
Having been sacked by - and now settled with - former employers Rugby Australia, Folau is a free agent. According to report by The Daily Telegraph, Folau has been identified as a target for a consortium behind the possible New York-based side, intending on entering English rugby league's third tier.

The Telegraph does state that no contact has been made between Folau's representatives and club officials. The club are reportedly weighing up whether or not the former Wallabies and Kangaroos star would be the "right fit" for their side.
