St George Illawarra NRL star Jack de Belin and Shellharbour Sharks player Callan Sinclair are set to face a retrial in Sydney in April 2021.
The pair will defend five charges each of aggravated sexual assault before a NSW District Court judge and jury in the Downing Centre from April 12 after no available date was found in Wollongong before August.

The fresh date comes after a jury announced it was unable to deliver a unanimous or majority verdict against the pair on Monday after nine hours of deliberating following three weeks of evidence in the high-profile trial against the footballers.
If found not guilty, the April fixture could pave the way for Mr de Belin, 29, to re-enter the NRL mid-season and salvage his $600,000 playing career.
