Super League clubs join Lockyer hunt

Five Super League clubs are on the trail of Australia captain Darren Lockyer, including Hull KR.

The Brisbane Broncos and Queensland skipper, 31, is out of contract at the end of 2009 and in the past has spoken about the possibility of ending his career in England.

Lockyer's manager George Mimis told the Sydney Morning Herald: "Each year there's interest. This year, at least five clubs, maybe six, would be interested."

Hull KR are one of the clubs, although Mimis refused to divulge the others.

He said he had already had some "tentative" discussions with Lockyer about "what life might look like" after his contract with the Broncos expired.

"Super League would feature as one of the discussion points," Mimis said.

"It's a possibility. He's enjoyed the time he's had, football-wise, over there.

"He's enjoyed travelling there on a couple of occasions socially as well. He doesn't dislike the whole environment."
