Finally, Sandor Earl’s NRL comeback can kick-off and it starts next month when he joins Melbourne for pre-season training.
Foxsports.com.au understands the 28-year-old has inked a one-year-deal with the Storm as he attempts to complete one of the great rugby league redemption stories.
The Storm are expected to confirm the signing this week with Earl posting on social media on Monday that; “It’s a special week.
“By weeks (sic) end we will announce a new chapter and a new beginning.
“I say WE because this journey has been a rollercoaster for so much more then (sic) myself. My partner Steph, my family, close friends, my manager and mentor and everyone who took even a second out of there (sic) day to offer me support.
“A new club opens the door to a group that will become family and brothers. I walk in a new man armed with a fresh perspective full of new goals and an extremely positive outlook on the future.”
Earl was exiled from the game in 2013 courtesy of a doping ban handed down by ASADA.
Earl’s suspension for trafficking of peptides ended in late August.
While several clubs registered interest in the winger, including the Dragons and Eels, he is now based in Melbourne.
Returning in peak physical condition, the fitness guru has been training solo.
Under the rules of his ASADA sanction, Earl was forbidden to associate with any sports team while suspended.
Pushing himself in the gym, a lean Earl has added muscle to his frame to better deal with the physical demands of the NRL.
While Earl and the Storm are yet to officially confirm the deal, Earl said he’s more determined than ever to make his return to the game a success.
“My mindset is to strip myself back to a first time rookie,” Earl continued to write on social media.
“I have overcome adversity and ultimately that will set me up for the greatest success.
“I have worked hard no doubt to get to this point BUT the hard work is only just beginning. I will work tirelessly at my trade, value every moment and take on new teachings to offer the best version of myself and be the best I can be.”
Over four seasons at the Roosters, Penrith and Canberra, Earl has scored 23 tries in 48 games.
