Bailed: Jarryd Hayne set to walk free from prison

The former NRL superstar appeared via videolink before Sydney’s Downing Centre District Court on Tuesday morning in a bid to be granted bail after a win in the Court of Criminal Appeal on Monday.

Hayne has been in prison since May last year after he was found guilty of sexually assaulting a woman at her Newcastle home on NRL grand final night in 2018.

The former Dally M winner and ex-NFL convert has sat in Cooma Correctional Centre for the last nine months.
