NRL chief Todd Greenberg wants Kieran Foran to be back playing league again – but the chances of him being registered in time to take up a contract with New Zealand Warriors are remote.

The Manly premiership winner and former Parramatta captain hopes to re-start his career with the Warriors next season after signing a one-year contract.

However, a clause in the deal with the Auckland-based club, which is believed to require Foran to be cleared by the NRL's integrity unit by December, is almost certain to scupper those plans.

Warriors chief Jim Doyle is lobbying the NRL to green-light the 26-year-old's return before that deadline but Fairfax Media has learnt that is next to no chance of happening.

Greenberg said on Monday he was keen to have Foran back in the game but "only under the right conditions".
