Move over Blue Steel! Former NRL star Luke Burgess is now pursuing a modelling career… and reveals his ‘signature move’ for the cameras

He was a star player who scored big for the South Sydney Rabbitohs and the Manly Sea Eagles.

But since retiring from NRL in September 2018, Luke Burgess now poses up a storm for men’s label Johnny Bigg.

He told The Saturday Telegraph that he has even perfected a ‘signature move’ for the cameras.

‘I’ve managed to find a bit of a “schmize” pose. It is like a smile with the eyes… it looked all right so it is my signature move now,’ he said.

‘I made it up as I went along really,’ he revealed.

While the career change may come as a surprise to many, it is in fact his fourth time modelling for large men’s label.

Back in October, Luke enjoyed a PDA-heavy holiday with product developer Arianna Vidgen in Mexico.

The couple put on a very amorous display during a boozy cruise with Luke’s younger brother Sam following his split from socialite Phoebe.
