THE South Sydney Rabbitohs have signed another Burgess.

The Sydney Roosters’ English import Joe Burgess has been given permission to play the remainder of the season with South Sydney before he returns home to Wigan.

Burgess, no relation to Sam, Tom or George, joined the Roosters at the beginning of the season but has struggled to make an impression.

The winger was cleared to join the Rabbitohs this morning and will train with the team from tomorrow.

The Rabbitohs will release a statement later this afternoon to confirm the signing.
