Former Hull halfback Albert Kelly given shock NRL chance

Albert Kelly has been given the chance to prove himself at Brisbane Broncos this week, with the former halfback named in the Broncos’ starting line-up for Friday’s trial clash with Wynnum Manly Seagulls.

The 29-year-old will be hoping to impress head coach Kevin Walters enough to earn a permanent deal after joining Brisbane on a train-and-trial basis after leaving Hull.

Kelly had made almost 70 appearances for the black-and-whites before deciding to move on at the end of 2020.
