Tom Burgess has reiterated his interest in eventually pulling on a Leeds Rhinos jersey, stating that it would be 'pretty cool' to represent his boyhood club. The England prop, one of the best players in the World Cup so far, caught the attention of Super League supporters when he openly discussed a return to the competition last month.
Burgess is currently contracted to South Sydney Rabbitohs but is now free to speak to UK clubs about a move next season. The 30-year-old is in the final year of his contract in the NRL and players down under are free to sign deals elsewhere come November 1st.
Burgess, who starred in England's quarter-final win over Papua New Guinea, has admitted that extending his deal with the Bunnies is his current preference. But he reiterated that the prospect of a return to Super League, and a move to Headingley, was a source of intrigue.
