The former Brisbane Broncos, Queensland and Australia rugby league star moved to English Super League club Catalans Dragons in 2020 in a deal reported to be worth $265,000 a year. He left France late last year to return to Australia to help his wife, former New Zealand Silver Ferns netball international Maria Folau look after her ailing mother. Folau was cleared by the Dragons last week and was set to turn out for Gold Coast rugby league club Southport Tigers, where his two brothers play.
