Burgess has cleared his head after spending a month in a rehabilitation facility and told Australia’s The Sun-Herald newspaper: “The next aim is to re-start my professional life and I want to be involved with rugby league again”.
The English enforcer remains on the payroll at South Sydney but stood himself down late last year once the NRL and NSW Police investigated allegations of drug use and domestic violence, which were levelled against him in The Australian. Burgess quickly denied the allegations.
