In a surprising turn of events, Nathan Cleary, the star halfback for the Penrith Panthers, has reportedly resigned from the club, citing personal reasons.
Cleary’s departure comes on the heels of the Panthers’ recent successes, including their fourth consecutive NRL Grand Final victory.

Speculation has been rife regarding Cleary’s future, with recent rumors suggesting a potential switch to rugby union. Former Rugby Australia chairman Hamish McLennan claimed that Cleary was among several NRL stars interested in testing themselves in rugby union.
Additionally, Cleary’s relationship with Australian football star Mary Fowler, who plays for Manchester City in the Women’s Super League, has fueled speculation about a possible move to the UK. However, Cleary had previously dismissed these rumors, stating he had no immediate plans to relocate.
The Panthers’ management has yet to release an official statement regarding Cleary’s resignation. The club now faces the challenge of filling the void left by one of the game’s premier talents.
Cleary’s departure marks the end of an era for the Panthers, who have enjoyed unprecedented success with him at the helm. His leadership and skill have been instrumental in the team’s dominance over the past four seasons.
As the rugby league community comes to terms with this unexpected news, attention will undoubtedly turn to Cleary’s next move and how the Panthers plan to rebuild in his absence.
