England winger Joe Burgess has joined the South Sydney Rabbitohs for the rest of the National Rugby League season, becoming the fourth Burgess at the club.
Burgess, 21, links up with the Rabbitohs from the Sydney Roosters where he played four NRL games this season.
He will join his unrelated namesakes, English brothers Sam, George and Thomas Burgess at South Sydney.

Burgess also played three tests for England in 2015 and played 55 games in the Super League for the Wigan Warriors, the club he will rejoin in 2017.

“Joe is a quality winger and he sees an opportunity to play more first grade football for the rest of the year with our club,” coach Michael Maguire said.
“He has played international football and is an excellent finisher.”

FILE - In this Friday, Oct. 23, 2009 file photo, England's Sam Burgess, right, is tackled by France's Remi Casty, during their Four Nations rugby league match at the Keepmoat Stadium, Doncaster, England. Sam Burgess is switching rugby codes, from league to union, in a bid to become a World Cup winner with England in 2015. The English rugby league forward, who has scored seven tries in 13 international appearances, has signed a three-year deal to join English rugby side Bath and leave the South Sydney Rabbitohs of Australia's National Rugby League after four years. "An opportunity presented itself to head back home to England and to pursue a chance to represent my country in two different sports," Burgess said Monday. Feb. 17, 2014 on the Rabbitohs website.
