Kieran Foran’s Next Chapter? NRL Veteran Eyes Overseas Exit
Well, it looks like we might be witnessing the end of an era. Kieran Foran – one of the most seasoned and respected playmakers in the NRL – is reportedly being linked with a move overseas, with the Super League shaping up as a likely destination. And honestly, as much as it’s tough to see, it’s not entirely surprising given the current state of things at the Gold Coast Titans.
Foran, now 34 years old, is off-contract at the end of 2025. He’s only managed three games this season after suffering a bicep tear, and with the Titans languishing at the bottom of the ladder, major changes are on the cards. A rebuild is clearly coming, and that means younger players coming in and seasoned veterans like Foran being moved on to make room. It's the harsh reality of the sport – and Foran knows it better than most.

This isn’t just any player we’re talking about. Foran’s career has been remarkable – over 300 first-grade games, a 2011 Premiership with the Sea Eagles, and stints across five NRL clubs. His toughness, game management, and leadership have been crucial at every stop. But time waits for no one. Even Foran, with all his experience and heart, is feeling the pull of change.
He hasn’t officially announced anything, and to his credit, he’s kept it real about where he’s at. “I’m not going to put a finish line on it,” he said last year. “My body and mind will tell me when it’s time.” That’s classic Foran – honest, humble, and always thinking about what’s best for the team.
Still, if the reports are true and he’s eyeing a move to the UK, it’ll be a big shift. But maybe it’s the right time. The Titans are reshaping. Coach Des Hasler’s future isn’t locked in either – with a reported clause allowing the club to cut ties if they don’t make the top eight. It’s a results-driven business, and with just 20 wins since 2023, the pressure is on.
If Foran does go, the Titans will have to think seriously about who fills the void. Youngster Tom Weaver is one option, though he's still unsigned for the future. There's also talk of a reunion with Toby Sexton, who’s currently thriving at the Bulldogs. Either way, the club needs to lock in someone who can guide the team through what’s clearly going to be a transformative period.
Whether this is the final season in the NRL for Kieran Foran or just another twist in his legendary journey, there’s no denying the impact he’s had on the game. If he does head overseas, he’ll carry with him the respect of fans across Australia and New Zealand – and a legacy built on grit, loyalty, and class.
