What happened to Omar Slaimankhel, our first Afghan rugby league player?

Omar Slaimankhel was an up and coming full back with the Warriors, who went to union and then came back with the Sydney Roosters reserves.

Omar Slaimankhel is the only Afghan to have been on the verge of an NRL career. We could have used him to build rugby league in Afghanistan. But he has disappeared off my radar.

Does anyone know what has happened to him?

I am hearing from various sources now that he has gone to Japanese rugby union.

Sounds like we have lost him forever. What a pity an NRL team without a star fullback didn't sign him. Or he could even have gone to Super League, where there are only about half a dozen very good full backs.

He played for the auburn warriors last year - he was interviewed yesterday for a story in regards to a dodgy deal that former auburn mayor did with the club which has resulted in the warriors folding
