He managed just 12 games this season at NRL level for the Sea Eagles, and took to Instagram today to announce he was hanging up the boots.
"After months of consideration I have decided to officially retire from the NRL and move back home with my beautiful girl @georgieoram and start the next chapter of our lives," he said.
"It’s been a roller coaster ride and I’m stoked with what I’ve achieved in a short time!

"Thanks to everyone that I have met on the ride and who has supported me. Love yahs."
A former Australian Schoolboy and NYC Player of the Year, the talented halfback also represented the Prime Minister's XIII in 2015.
