Just months after returning to Sydney to be with his family, former Australian international Todd Carney has reportedly joined Hull HR on a short-term deal.

According to Hull Live, Carney will join the club for the remainder of the Super League season, as Hull try to avoid relegation.

The 32-year-old halfback could make his debut against Warrington in two weeks' time.

Carney will play under former Kangaroos boss Tim Sheens, who has previously coached Carney at international level.
