Former Parramatta coach Daniel Anderson is set to be handed a route back into NRL as a recruitment specialist with Sydney Roosters.
The Sydney Morning Herald reports his move to the 2018 premiers comes after NRL's integrity unit was persuaded Anderson was ready to return to the game following his de-registration for his role in the salary-cap scandal that rocked the Eels in 2016.
The 54-year-old is to link up in the Roosters front office with former Manly chief executive Joe Kelly, who was himself suspended for 12 months last March for his part in a salary cap breach at the Sea Eagles.
Former New Zealand mentor Anderson has been out of the game for two years since being admonished - along with a group of club officials known as the 'gang of five' - for the Eels salary saga.
But according to the newspaper's report, he has been given the green light to take up the new role at the Roosters after convincing the NRL he is "a fit and proper person befitting registration".
The latest development means the experienced Anderson will team up again with Roosters coach Trent Robinson, having worked together at St Gregory's College, Campbelltown.
