Cooper Cronk could quit rugby league at the end of the 2017 season to be closer to fiance Tara Rushton in Sydney, according to the Daily Telegraph.

The pair were engaged recently and are set to marry at the end of the season.

They have been living apart, with Fox presenter Rushton based in Sydney.

Cronk has apparently told close friends and family, including Storm cocah Craig Bellamy and NRL CEO Todd Greenberg, that he is considering walking away from the game to move to Sydney according to the Telegraph.

There were rumours last year that Cronk was considering a transfer to the Dragons, before committing to a two-year contract extension in Melbourne. That contract expires after the 2018 season.

If he does decide to walk away, he will no doubt be snapped up by either Channel Nine or Fox Sports for a role on TV.
