Fresh from topping Penrith’s fourth consecutive premiership, Nathan Cleary has been enjoying a trip to Europe to spend time with his girlfriend Mary Fowler.

In that time, he has been busy catching up with his girlfriend Fowler, who helped Manchester City to a 2-1 win against Aston Villa at the Joie Stadium on Sunday.
The Australian sporting power couple have been enjoying some time together, and were photographed a week ago at Old Trafford watching the Super League Grand Final between Wigan and Hull Kingston Rovers.

Meanwhile, Cleary has recently poured cold water on rumors that have linked him to a move away from the Panthers. Some reports had claimed that he might move to Europe to be closer to his partner, Fowler.
But the NRL star, whose contract with the Panthers expires in 2027, said he was not planning to walk away from the club any time soon.
It comes after former Rugby Australia president Hamish McLennan claimed the Wallabies should try to poach Cleary from the Panthers by offering him a large sum of money.
Joseph Suaalii recently made the call to swap codes and McLennan believes Rugby Australia should do the same with Cleary.
“Joseph (Suaalii) has already sparked massive interest in rugby and has paid for himself time and time again,” McLennan said. SMH.
“He is a global rugby superstar before he even puts on a Wallaby jersey, and will be a wonderful role model for aspiring young players.”
‘The Wallabies’ poor performance over decades means they need investment at the top level to generate value in sponsorship, media rights and crowds. We haven’t won a World Cup since 1999, and a Bledisloe Cup for 23 years, so we don’t need any more evidence that the system needs an overhaul and centralisation.’
Last week, Fowler posted a photo of her and Cleary having coffee and poked fun at her boyfriend.
Cleary recently poured cold water on speculation linking him with a move to Europe.
McLennan wants the NRL recruiting drive to continue and is urging rugby to open its checkbook for Panthers playmaker Nathan Cleary.
“I’d be having a chance with the likes of Nathan Cleary and a few others,” he said.
‘The game needs five more Josephs as the ’27 World Cup (to be played in Australia) is just around the corner and the clock is ticking… Thank God for Joseph, because that’s the only thing everyone world speaks.
“Australia is ranked number 10 in the world and needs an injection of talent or there will be nothing left to sell.”
