Retired St George Illawarra Dragons<\/a> halfback Jesse Marschke<\/a> has decided to pull on the boots once again and has signed with a new club ahead of next season which will see him continue his rugby league playing career.<\/p>\n After announcing his retirement from professional rugby league in November, Marschke has agreed to join the South Eastern Seagulls, where he will link up with brother Ben Marschke<\/a> and former NRL<\/a> forward Ben Thomas<\/a>.<\/p>\n Established in 1957, the Seagulls compete in the South Juniors A-grade competition and are coming off a disappointing campaign this year, finishing near the bottom of the ladder despite being coached by\u00a0John Sutton<\/a>.<\/p>\n Most recently playing in the\u00a0NSW Cup<\/a> competition with the North Sydney Bears – a club he played several seasons with – Marschke appeared in six first-grade matches for the Dragons in 2024 but failed to land an extension with the club after a one-year stint with them after multiple injury issues.<\/p>\n Away from the NRL<\/a>, he featured in 99 NSW Cup<\/a> matches and scored 27 tries with the Bears, Newtown Jets and Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs<\/a>.<\/p>\n “Thank you Jesse! A big farewell to out captain, our leader, our mate and a great Bear, as\u00a0Jesse Marschke<\/a>\u00a0has decided to retire from the\u00a0NSW Cup<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0NRL<\/a> level of footy. Forever a Bear,” the North Sydney Bears said in a statement.<\/p>\n
