Former NRL star Jarryd Hayne will be released from custody after having his rape convictions again quashed on appeal as prosecutors weigh up whether he should face a fourth trial.

The 36-year-old has spent a year behind bars after a jury convicted him of two counts of sexual intercourse without consent in April 2023 after an earlier guilty verdict was overturned in a separate appeal.
