Aidan Sezer is poised to make a shock return to the NRL with the former Canberra star eyeing off a homecoming after two seasons in the Super League.
In a move that will see him go head to head with Shaun Johnson, Anthony Milford and Corey Norman, the player who took the Raiders to the grand final in 2019 will join the NRL open market next week.
News Corp Australia can reveal at least two NRL club have already expressed an unofficial interest in Sezer, who has starred for the Huddersfield Giants since leaving the NRL in 2019.
Also a former Titan, Sezer has instructed his manager to negotiate with NRL clubs in a move that will make him the playmaking wildcard on the open market.
With his junior club the Bulldogs in the market for a No. 7, Sezer may get the chance to full fill his childhood dream of playing NRL for Canterbury.
The Bulldogs were this week linked to Shaun Johnson but Sezer’s shock availability may force them to rethink their interest in the unwanted Cronulla star.

Sezer has always been considered the one that got away by Bulldogs fans and has publicly expressed a desire to one day return to Belmore.
The East Hills junior made his debut for the Titans in 2012 and played 177 NRL games before switching to the Super League after the Raiders bitter grand final defeat to Melbourne in 2019.
The No. 7, who helped steer Canberra into the grand final, recently opened up about the reason he left both the club and the NRL while in his prime.
“It wasn‘t to be, was it?” Sezer said.
“I think there’s a lot of things that went on in my time in Canberra.
“I sought a move away and obviously said to my agent that I needed a move to refresh my career because there was a time there I didn’t want to play there.
“I wasn’t enjoying it. I wasn’t getting the satisfaction I once did from rugby league.”
Sezer has scored 140 points in his 22 games for Huddersfield.
