It is officially official. Robbie Farah will be back at the Wests Tigers this week after being granted a release from the South Sydney Rabbitohs.

Wests Tigers confirmed the news on Wednesday.

“I look forward to welcoming Robbie back home to Wests Tigers this week,” said coach Ivan  Cleary.

“Robbie brings a wealth of experience back to the club in a position where we feel we need some additional support at this stage of the season.

“All of my discussions with Robbie have been very positive, he understands the direction that the club is heading in, and how he can help contribute to that.”

Farah’s return could be a crunch match Sunday week against Gold Coast at Leichhardt Oval.
