Reports Down Under have linked Penrith Panthers utility Tyrone Peachey with a move to Super League for the 2024 campaign.
Writing for Wide World of Sports, Australian journalist ‘Moley’ has reported that the 31-year-old is interested in exploring options in the Super League competition.
The three-time New South Wales representative is off-contract at Penrith at the end of the season, having made the switch ahead of 2023 from Wests Tigers in a swap deal with Charlie Staines.
He has made four appearances so far in the 2023 NRL campaign under Nathan Cleary, most recently during Magic Round as Penrith defeated New Zealand Warriors 18-6 at Suncorp Stadium.
Moley has reported that several Super League clubs are showing some interest in the utility, who can play both in the pack and in the outside-backs.
