Exclusive: An NRL playmaker has been linked with a potential move to England to play in Super League next year.
rugbyleaguehub.com Long Reads understands Sydney Roosters utility Connor Watson, who is off-contract at the Australian club at the end of this year, is considering a move to the UK.
The preference of Watson is to get another NRL deal and stay in Australia next year.
But it is believed if he cannot secure a new NRL contract for 2024 then he will make the switch to the UK.
Watson can cover a number of positions including hooker, halfback, five-eighth and lock.
The 27-year-old is a Roosters junior who broke into the NRL with the Chooks in 2016.
He made 39 NRL appearances for the Roosters before joining Newcastle in 2018.
Watson spent four seasons with the Knights, racking up 66 games, before returning to the eastern suburbs outfit in 2021 on a two-year contract.
The utility has scored 26 tries in 125 career appearances.
He played 21 games for the Chooks in 2022 but has yet to crack first-grade this season.
