The Rugby League Players Association (RLPA) has
congratulated South Sydney skipper Greg Inglis on a remarkable playing career, with
the former Australian and Queensland representative star announcing his immediate
retirement today.
Inglis started his first-grade career at the Melbourne
Storm, where he played 117 NRL matches, before adding another 146 games for the
Rabbitohs.
Adding to his 263 NRL games, the Bowraville Tigers junior
featured heavily in the representative scene – with 39 Tests for Australia, 32
games for Queensland, four appearances for the Indigenous All Stars and a Prime
Minister’s XIII match in 2016.
Inglis achieved a range of accolades amongst his career,
including winning the 2009 Golden Boot Award, the 2007 Clive Churchill Medal and
the 2009 Wally Lewis Medal.
The 32-year-old has also been part of the RLPA Delegate
structure in recent years.
South Sydney have announced that Inglis will continue his involvement
with the Clubs, adding his experience to the wellbeing, coaching and community aspects
of the organisation.
The RLPA would like to congratulate Greg on a tremendous career
and wish him well as he transitions into the next stage of his life.
