After months of rumours, speculation and denials, the Queensland Reds have tonight finally revealed that James O’Connor and Karmichael Hunt will be part of the 2015 squad.
At a gala function to mark the end of a disappointing 2014 season, the worst kept secrets doing the rounds have finally been revealed that the Reds have secured the signings of O’Connor on a two year deal and Hunt, who has signed for three years .
O’Connor has been playing rugby overseas with London Irish and more recently Toulon whilst Hunt has been playing AFL with the Gold Coast Suns.
The Reds have four more spots available in the squad and will make those announcements at a later time.
