Cameron Murray considers code switch to rugby union
South Sydney captain Cameron Murray says switching to rugby union later in his career is a real possibility.
Cameron Murray has admitted he is seriously considering a move to rugby union later in his career. The 28-year-old South Sydney captain is signed with the Rabbitohs until the end of 2028 but has long been seen as a prospect who could play union.
Former Wallabies coach Eddie Jones has publicly expressed interest in signing him. Murray's comments come as Angus Crichton, another former Test star, joins the Waratahs to play for the Wallabies.
Murray said the idea was always in the back of his mind but first he has goals in rugby league, including a premiership with South Sydney.
