MELBOURNE Storm star Cooper Cronk stepped out with girlfriend Tara Rushton at Saturday’s AFL Grand Final.

Cronk was romantically linked to the Fox Sports presenter back in June when they were seen dining together in Sydney, but the pair were snapped together for the first time in the September Club.

Rushton, 30, covers A-League soccer for the pay television network and hosts the weekly series Kick Off.

Cronk, whose season ended after last weekend’s preliminary final loss, confirmed to Confidential they were an item.

But the couple, a match made in sporting heaven, had yet to plan an off-season getaway as Rushton’s work commitments would begin soon.

Also spied in the September Club was tennis ace Thanasi Kokkinakis.
