EX-NRL player Matt Seers has been arrested and charged with supplying cocaine on the Gold Coast.

Seers, who played fullback for the North Sydney Bears and Wests Tigers during the 1990s and early 2000s, has been granted bail and will appear in the Southport Magistrates Court on February 10.

Queensland police said a 40-year-old male from Chinderah had been arrested and charged with “15 counts of supplying a dangerous drug and one count of trafficking a dangerous drug”.

The Seers arrest is part of a joint investigation between Queensland police, the Crime and Corruption Commission and NSW police.

The development comes one week after retired Queensland and Australian legend Jason Smith was arrested and charged with allegedly trafficking 280 grams of cocaine between June and December last year.

Seers was selected on the NSW State of Origin reserves bench during Super League war on four occasions.

Seers is the cousin of ex-NRL player Craig Field, who was sentenced to 10 years in prison after being found guilty of the manslaughter of NSW north-coast farmer Kelvin Kane last December.
