Toulouse Olympique have announced the signing of Corey Norman.
The 31-year-old Australian half, who last season played with the St George Illawarra Dragons in the NRL, has signed a deal until the end of the 2022 Super League season.
It was with the Brisbane Broncos’ under-20s that Corey made his debut in 2009, winning the title of ‘Broncos Back of the Year’.
It was with the Brisbane Broncos where he began his professional career, spending four seasons at the club and playing 63 games and accumulating 56 points. He continued in the NRL with the Parramatta Eels from 2014 to 2019 (five seasons – 106 games – 65 points) before joining the St George Illawara Dragons – in three seasons, he made 59 appearances.
In total, Corey Norman has 228 NRL games under his belt. He was also called up for Queensland in a match of ‘State of Origin’ in 2019, an Australian competition which sees the best players of its provinces compete in a series of three meetings.
Corey Norman is delighted with the move: “I can’t wait to join the club and meet the whole team, coaches and supporters!
“This represents a good opportunity and at the same time a challenge for me. I also look forward to acquiring the learning that this new beginning will bring me. ”
Bernard Sarrazain, President of TO XIII, said: “Corey’s arrival in the squad is excellent news for the club at this stage of the season.
“He has the ideal profile since he can occupy two positions that we were looking for, halfback and fullback. His extensive high-level experience, his talent and his leadership will be major assets for the team.
“I am happy that Corey has agreed to trust us and I can’t wait to see him wear the colours of the TO.”
