Matt Burton, a notable two-time New South Wales Blues representative, is currently generating buzz regarding a possible exit from the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs. Despite being one of the standout players on the team, conversations surrounding his departure have surfaced.
Burton joined the Bulldogs in 2022 after his tenure with the Penrith Panthers. At just 25 years old, he has been instrumental in shifting the team's direction from consistent losses to becoming a serious contender for the premiership.
However, reports suggest that his time at the club may come to an unexpected early end. According to Wide World of Sports, the Bulldogs are open to negotiating Burton's release for him to join the newly formed Perth Bears in 2027, despite him being contracted until the conclusion of that year.
There are speculations that Burton is exploring a potential deal that would allow him to play alongside his brother-in-law, Aston Warwrick, who is currently competing in the NSW Cup for the Sydney Roosters.
