UK Super League clubs are set to queue up for Todd Carney's signature after the troubled halfback was sacked by Canberra and de-registered by the National Rugby League.
The Raiders have finally had enough of his off-field misdemeanours and tore up the 22-year-old's four-year contract.
Then the NRL confirmed Carney would be de-registered until at least 2010, meaning no club can sign him for the 2009 NRL season.
Carney's final miscalculation came last Saturday night when he was part of a group ejected from a nightclub. Carney had already been suspended indefinitely by the club after a complaint that he urinated on a person while out drinking.
In 2007 he was involved in a police chase and received 200 hours of community service.
He had already had his licence suspended because of drink driving prior to the car chase.
