Cowboys emerge as potential destination for Mitchell
North Queensland Cowboys have now emerged as a potential destination for centre Latrell Mitchell, according to 7 News in Australia.
Mitchell has won back-to-back NRL titles with Sydney Roosters.
It was announced earlier this month that Mitchell would leave Sydney Roosters, after the NRL champions withdrew their latest contract offer for him.
Roosters coach Trent Robinson says a desire to play fullback is part of the reason he wants out of the club.
Mitchell had been touted for a move to Wests Tigers, but now the Cowboys have emerged as a major player.
According to the report, he arrived in Townsville and was given a tour of the facilities and met with top officials.

The Welsh international turns 33 in December and could be tempted by a big-money offer from the Championship outfit.
