Jane is back running after seriously injuring his knee in a pre-season match for the Hurricanes in January, an injury which ruled him out of the Super Rugby competition.
He hopes to take the field for Wellington against Auckland on October 5, with the All Blacks' end of year tour a major goal.
"That's the plan," he said. "Obviously I have to get back on the field first and feel comfortable that everything I've done is good and I can handle it out on the field - and then hopefully these guys will pick me."
Ben Smith has proven to be an able replacement on the right wing, but 30-year-old Jane, who has played 41 tests, welcomed the competition.
"Competition's good. If I do come back and Ben's still on the wing he can play fullback as well so that will make the whole back three really have to work hard to get a spot. So competition's great."
Jane added of his months of rehabilitation: "It hasn't been as hard as I though it would be. I've obviously had my problems with the leg but I've been doing a lot of other things outside of rugby. I'm ready to get back on the field and play some rugby now."
All Blacks playmaker Dan Carter was pleased to see Jane's appearance at training.
"To see him back out there running was great to see, he's an awesome player and the fact he's slowly getting on the other side of a tough injury is encouraging," Carter said.
