Former Newcastle Knights fullback and five-eighth Tex Hoy has returned to Australia after a stint in the English Super League, and will chase a return to the NRL with the Manly Sea Eagles. Hoy, who is a Newcastle-born player, also has interest from the local competition in a move that could pique his interest. If he joined that club, he would have familiar company, with another ex-Knight returning from the Super League in Lachlan Fitzgibbon also to play there this year. Fitzgibbon though, speaking to the publication, said Hoy still has plenty to offer at NRL level. "Whether that's at the NRL level, which I believe it is, hopefully he can fight his way back into an NRL system and be back playing NRL."
