Cooper no longer part of Queensland Reds

Quade Cooper's stint at Queensland Reds looks to have ended after he was reportedly told he is no longer part of the club's plans.

The 29‑year‑old flyhalf was expected to report back for training at the Super Rugby outfit tomorrow but has been informed by new coach Brad Thorn he probably will not be involved in the forthcoming campaign.

Capped 70 times, the skilful playmaker's Test career also appears over after having been left out of coach Michael Cheika's Wallabies squad since his last match against Italy five months ago.

The 2018 Super Rugby season will start in February.
