Tom Burgess won't be moving to Super League next year, but he's kept the door open for a move in the coming years. The England prop has signed a new contract with South Sydney Rabbitohs, penning a one-year contract to stay at the club he has played for since 2013.
Now 30, Burgess will become the Bunnies' fourth highest appearance maker this week and will be able to add further appearances to the 211 he's already made in the NRL after agreeing to stay until the end of 2024.
But Burgess' decision to only sign a one-year contract has certainly caught the attention of people in the UK, particularly after recent comments about a move to Super League and specifically Leeds Rhinos. During the World Cup, Burgess told Rugby League Live: "I'm English and proud to be English. I'd like to bring my family back at some point but we'll see what happens. My immediate future is the World Cup then I'd like to re-sign with Souths for a few extra years and then go from there.
