O'Meley signs with Hull
Saturday, July 04, 2009
Sydney Roosters forward Mark OMeley has signed with Hull for 2010 on a three year deal.
OMeley, who joined the Roosters in 2008, will depart the club at the end of this season.
Mark made an instant impact at the Roosters and was voted Clubman of the Year in 2008. He has played a key off field role in the development of young players coming through the ranks who are now making an impact on the field.
The Roosters have released Mark from the final year of his contract with Coach Brad Fittler saying that his leadership will be greatly missed.
Whilst the Roosters are disappointed that he wont be with the club next year it is a great opportunity for Mark and his family to experience life in the UK.
I have had a wonderful time at the Roosters and am able to take some great memories with me, said Mark.
Whilst it has been a lean season this year I am excited about the future of the Club and the young players that we have coming through.
I am sad to be leaving but am looking forward to the experience over in the UK and it will be nice to be there alongside Fitzy and our families.
Mark will undergo arthroscopic surgery on his knee this week that will see him ruled out for the remainder of the 2009 season.
