THE wait is finally over. The Daily Telegraph understands former Parramatta star Jarryd Hayne will formally announce his move to NFL franchise, Detroit Lions, tomorrow (Tuesday) at 2pm.

A press conference will be held in Sydney.

Hayne will shortly return to the US to continue training for his shock move.

Detroit has a track record of picking up international unknowns, plus they have been highly impressed with the ex-Parramatta full-back’s testing times (especially in the 40-yard sprint, where he clocked an electrifying 4.53 seconds).

The conformation of a deal with the Lions is a remarkable achievement for Hayne, who only quit the NRL four months ago.

Hayne, who turned 27 a fortnight ago, has spent the summer transforming his body for the rigours of playing the explosive running back position in the NFL.

News that he will become part of the Lions family follows Detroit’s decision to cut running back Reggie Bush last week.

Bush, on a promotional trip to Australia had been full of praise for Hayne, but with the Lions releasing the 29-year-old, who had an injury-plagued 2014 season, the team need to restock the position.
