The national rugby league and the South Sydney Rabbitohs are mourning the loss of a grand final winning player after his sudden death this week.
Kyle Turner has died at age 31 in his home town of Coonabarabran after a stellar NRL career.
The country rugby league player shot to sporting stardom when he played for the Rabbitohs in their 2014 grand final win over the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs.
It was his maiden year in the top grade after playing for years in NRL youth teams, and he went on to play 25 games.
Turner also represented his rural roots in the NSW Country and played for the Indigenous All Stars.
The backrower recovered and continued to be a regular player until 2019, when he was cut loose from the Rabbitohs.
Turner retired at age 27 and moved back to his home town in rural NSW, where he continued to play local rugby league.
His former team, the Coonabarabran Unicorns, shared a tribute to their former teammate on Saturday.
More to come.
