Melbourne Storm wing Marika Koroibete's departure from the NRL to join the Melbourne Rebels in Super Rugby has been confirmed.
The Storm confirmed today that the Fijian flyer has signed a two‑year deal to switch codes.
Storm coach Craig Bellamy resigned last week after losing Koroibete to rugby union.
He says the club was unable to match the Rebels' offer to the 23‑year‑old.
Koroibete is one of the most elusive wingers in the NRL and is highly likely to be selected for the Wallabies with Michael Cheika showing his interest on Koroibete.
The Storm will face the Eels at 9pm next Monday.
Meanwhile the Rabbitohs will face the Dragons at 9.50 tonight.
