Less than a week after his brother Israel signed with the Catalans Dragons, the younger Folau, John, has made a comeback to rugby league signing with Manly’s feeder club, Blacktown.

Both Folau brothers had been playing for the NSW Waratahs in Super Rugby until Israel’s controversial social media posts saw him pushed out the door.

John followed him soon after, and both made attempts to switch back to league to play in Tonga’s end of season Tests.

Israel completed his return to league earlier this week, signing a deal with Super League outfit Catalans, in a move that has received a ferocious backlash.

John, who played a handful of NRL games for Parramatta between 2015 and 2017 will now turn out for Blacktown Workers.

The winger has signed a one-year deal with the club, who are a feeder side for Manly.

The Workers have helped resurrect the league careers of Tim Simona and Tony Williams in recent years, with Williams since earning a full-time contract with the Sea Eagles for the upcoming NRL season.
