State of Origin and Gold Coast Titans star set to switch allegiance from Australia to England

STATE OF ORIGIN and Gold Coast Titans star AJ Brimson is set to switch his allegiance from Australia to England ahead of Ashes Test Series at the end of the year.

That’s according to News Corp, which has claimed that 26-year-old Brimson is eyeing up an England jersey as early as this year.

A fullback or halfback by trade, Shaun Wane is already able to call on the likes of Jack Welsby, George Williams, Mikey Lewis and Harry Smith.

Brimson qualifies through his English-born mother, although the playmaker has previously represented Australia in the World Cup 9s tournament in 2019.

That means he would have to apply to the International Rugby League to switch allegiance from Australia to England, given that both are classed as tier-one nations.
