Cherry-Evans, 36, also built an impressive property portfolio during his lengthy tenure at the Sea Eagles. We've taken a closer look below.

Property portfolio

The veteran halfback has made some impressive moves in the property world.

Cherry-Evans and wife Vessa own a home at Curl Curl on the northern beaches, which they bought for $3.4 million in 2018.

According to the marketing, the four-bedroom home is "impeccably positioned alongside Curl Curl Beach within the suburb's most sought-after street".

The couple also bought a four-bedroom house in Curl Curl for $1.355 million in 2014. They sold the home five years later for $1.9 million - an impressive gain of $545,000.

Meanwhile, Cherry-Evans owns a two-bedroom investment apartment in Freshwater, also on the northern beaches, that he bought in 2012 for $500,000.

CoreLogic records show the home was listed for rent at $700 a week in 2023.

In 2022, the halfback snapped up another investment property, paying $580,000 for a two-bedroom apartment at Pendle Hill.

Cherry-Evans also purchased a three-bedroom townhouse in North Parramatta.

The property was bought for $1.35 million in December 2023.

It was listed for rent in August last year at $1050 a week.

In 2019, the premiership winner sold his Gold Coast property that he bought when he agreed to join the Gold Coast Titans in 2015, only to backflip on the deal to remain a Sea Eagle.

The Mermaid Beach house cost $1.45 million and was sold for $1.65 million.

What's next

Will Cherry-Evans uproot his family's life on Sydney's northern beaches?

The playmaker may look to buy a property near his new club, while renting out his impressive home.

After earning millions in the sport, he could afford to splash out on another property.

According to CoreLogic, currently the median sales price of houses in Bondi is $4.3 million.
