Cronulla coach shane Flangan is confident of re-signing star play maker Todd Carney within days despite attracting interest from St George Illawarra.

With Jamie Soward announcing the signing of a four-year deal with Penrith, it opens the door for the joint-venture to make a big play for  Carney, who ousted Soward from his NSW No.6 shirt last year.

Carney is the most high-profile name off contract at the end of this year but the Sharks remain confident of re-signing Carney, after throwing him a lifeline following his sacking by the Roosters in 2011.

However, the investigation by the Australian Sports Anti-Doping Authority (ASADA) halted negotiations after general football manager Darren Mooney, who was working with Carney's representatives, was sacked along with three other members of the backroom staff.

Sharks coach Shane Flanagan insists Carney will re-sign, with talks restarting after Steve Noyce joined the club as football manager and said the news of Soward departure from the Dragons will make no difference to their discussions.

"The Dragons made an approach to Todd and Todd wants to stay (at Cronulla)," Flanagan said.

"And we want him to stay here and we're getting the deal done.

"The Dragons never made Jamie Soward an offer so they knew he was going.

"The Soward thing isn't an issue for us."

When asked whether the club was a couple of weeks or months away from making an announcement regarding Carney, Flanagan was forthright: "Days," he said.
