Israel Folau Signs $3 Million Deal
Israel Folau Signs $3 Million Deal – Israel Folau has decided to walk out on rugby league and will sign a $1 million-a-season contract with the Greater Western Sydney AFL team by week’s end.
The stunning revelation was made by Mike Sheahan on Fox Sports’ On The Couch – on the day pioneering code-switcher Karmichael Hunt turned up for his first day of work with the Gold Coast AFL franchise.
“The signing by Greater Western Sydney of Izzy Folau is imminent,” Shean said on Monday night’s Fox Sports weekly show.
“Some people are saying it’s done, but it’s certainly imminent. There would be an announcement, I suspect, within the next 24 hours that Folau will play AFL next year.”
It is understood Folau has privately agreed to a deal – worth $3 million over three years – with the AFL’s newest franchise, and has even stated he is keen to play at full-forward.
Folau’s decision will come as a massive blow to the NRL and will give the new GWS franchise a huge boost in terms of its profile in the Sydney market.
