POLICE plan to drop a cocaine charge against Wallabies and Queensland Reds superstar Karmichael Hunt due to a lack of evidence, his lawyer says.

Hunt, 31, appeared in the Brisbane Magistrates Court on Monday charged with two counts of drug possession and one of contravening a direction or requirement from police.

The troubled code-hopping superstar was accused of possessing cocaine and the prescription drug Xanax on a night out on December 30.

But in a stunning twist, his lawyer Adam Magill has revealed police have given an undertaking in writing to drop the cocaine charge due to what he says is a lack of evidence.

“(Hunt) is over the moon, he can focus on his training,” Mr Magill said.

He said the cocaine charge would be dropped at his next court appearance, and he had a commitment in writing from police. He still must face a charge relating to the Xanax.

But Mr Magill did not know if Hunt was given permission to return to training.

“It’s still too early to say, that’s up to his manager to figure out,” he said.

He was stood down from rugby commitments, including training, when the charges came to light.

It comes after Hunt was one of several professional footballers to be caught up in a Queensland Crime and Corruption Commission investigation into a cocaine trafficking ring operating in the state’s southeast.

He was fined in March 2015 after pleading guilty to four counts of possessing cocaine.

The current case returns to court on February 19.
