Souths set to re-sign troubled kirisome auva’a
THE AUSTRALIAN – JUNE 25, 2015
South Sydney centre Kirisome Auva’a is on the verge of signing a contract extension with the Rabbitohs as he closes in on a return to the NRL.
Auva’a, suspended until at least round 22 over domestic violence, is off contract at the end of the year. However, it is understood the 24-year-old is close to agreeing an extension with the Rabbitohs amid interest from rival NRL clubs.
Auva’a was suspended for a minimum of nine months last November after a Melbourne court imposed a two-year good behaviour bond on him for attacking his former girlfriend.
He subsequently sought leave to appeal against the NRL suspension but his application was rejected. However, Auva’a has been training with the Rabbitohs and attending games while simultaneously completing courses as part of his rehabilitation.
