Former National Rugby League player Jacin Sinclair has been found dead in his house on Thursday.

His body was discovered at the property in the northern harbourside suburb of Woolwich about 4pm (AEDT) on Thursday when police forced their way inside after being contacted by a concerned relative.

He is believed to have been dead for several days.

Police would not officially confirm his identity but there is no doubt the body is that of Mr Sinclair.

Detectives are conducting inquiries and say the death is not considered suspicious.

A post-mortem examination will be conducted to determine the cause and time of death, police say.

Mr Sinclair played 80 first-grade NRL games in the 1990s for Balmain, Souths and the Sydney Roosters.
