Ryan McGoldrick would prefer to play in a warmer climate than Super League
An Australian rugby league player has put himself on auction site eBay in order to find a new club.
Ex-Castleford player Ryan McGoldrick is currently a free agent after a side he signed for in New South Wales folded.
"If a really feasible option did come up and it worked out, then I will go do it," the 35-year-old told BBC Sport.
His listing appeared on Tuesday and describes a "1981 antique rugby league player" who is "well maintained" and comes "with a full service history".
On Wednesday morning, the advert had attracted nine bids and stood at £11.50, with the winning bidder due to pay McGoldrick on a per game basis.
Utility player McGoldrick, who also played for Hull FC and Salford, made over 150 appearances in a seven-year spell in England from 2006-13.
"I was at home speaking to my father-in-law and he came up with the idea to put myself on eBay and let them decide where I play," he added.
"We were talking about different options and I had just found out the club I was at wasn't going ahead. This gives me a little bit of time to think and assess the options I have in front of me.
"I am really open to seeing where it goes, if there is something serious then I am happy to sign a contract.
"There have been a couple of inquiries from England too but I have told them that postage comes at the buyer's expense. They'll have to make sure they can afford to get me over there.
"I hope I am not going anywhere too cold. If one of those sides come in for me, it will have to be in the summer months. Don't expect me to train over winter!"
