Cooper signs three-year deal with ARU

Quade Cooper has signed with Australian rugby for the next three years but will delay any call on rejoining the Reds until the head coach saga is finalised.

“I’m swaying towards playing in Queensland but I’ve got to make an educated decision,” Cooper said.

“Obviously, who is to coach the Reds is a big thing because you don’t want to make a call on whispers one way or the other.”

The 58-Test Wallaby is rebuilding his fitness for Wallabies camp next week after a month’s holiday in Europe following his 15-game stint with French club Toulon.
