Corey Oates, known for his lightning-fast moves on the rugby league field, has made a seamless transition to the world of radio.
The Queensland native officially retired from the NRL in 2024 at the tender age of 29, deciding to hang up his boots and try his hand at a new challenge.
After dabbling in guest appearances on KIIS 97.3 FM, Oates impressed the hosts, Robin and Kip, with his charisma and natural talent behind the mic.
It was only a matter of time before the dynamic duo offered him a permanent role on their morning show for 2025.
"I couldn't be more thrilled to team up with Robin and Kip in the morning.
It's like scoring a last-minute try in the State of Origin - pure adrenaline and excitement! The KIIS 97.3 crew has been like a tight-knit pack of forwards, supporting me every step of the way.
I can't wait to see what the new year brings," Oates gushed on air, as reported by News Corp.
With his infectious energy and magnetic personality, Corey Oates is set to tackle the world of radio with the same gusto and determination that made him a household name in the NRL.
Fans can expect him to bring his A-game every morning, just like he did on the rugby field.
