Jarryd Hayne's future in the NFL will be decided by Chip Kelly who has been named the new head coach of San Francisco 49ers.
Kelly was sacked by Philadelphia earlier this month before the season had concluded after three years in the role, with the Eagles showing him the door after a hugely disappointing 7-9 NFC East season.
Philadelphia sacked Kelly because they wanted a coach who could relate better to the players after he overhauled the team's squad and traded away several big-name stars.
Hayne made the 49ers' 53-man roster in September but was cut mid-season and signed to the practice squad before being restored to the active roster for the final two weeks of the season following a litany of injuries to the team's running backs.
San Francisco endured a torrid campaign and finished 5-11 leading to Jim Tomsula being fired.
