Cooper Cronk and Tara Rushton buy $3.5 million Sydney home

Cooper Cronk and Tara Rushton have purchased a stunning first home together as the footy star makes his permanent move to Sydney. 

The pair splashed out $3.5 million on the Federation home in Mosman which includes four bedrooms and a pool with an underwater feature wall.

The halfback decided against signing a new contract with his former club, the Melbourne Storm, to join his Fox Sports presenter fiancee in the New South Wales capital. 

‘Tara, my fiancee, is based in Sydney and there’s a few things in life that are more important than football, like family, getting married and a future,’ Cronk said in a press conference in April.
