Jarryd Hayne refutes rumors, will stay with 49ers

Recently there have been a number of reports spreading a rumor that Jarryd Hayne, the Australian National Rugby League legend turned NFL running back turned San Francisco 49ers practice squad player, will return to Australia.

The “Hayne Plane” immediately shot down these rumors, stating his desire to make it playing the game he loves.

As Hayne told 49ers.com:

“If I was going to go back (to Australia), I wouldn’t have even come (to America). Media back home is obviously just trying to make stories and use my name to make headlines.
