Canberra Raiders captain Terry Campese could be closer to finding a career lifeline in the British Super League, Hull Kingston Rovers confirming the veteran playmaker is on a list of potential recruitment targets.
Rovers are chasing two playmakers after unexpectedly losing their Australian halves combination of Travis Burns and Kris Keating in the past fortnight, with chief executive Mike Smith confirming Campese is on their radar as a possible replacement.

Smith said he'd spoken with Campese's manager, Jim Banaghan, and it's understood the club has made calls to Australia this week inquiring about Campese's off-field character. That isn't in question, with Campese awarded the NRL's Ken Stephens medal last year for his community work.
