Nathan Cleary arrived in Sydney Airport on Friday morning after saying goodbye to his girlfriend Mary Fowler in Perth following their romantic reunion.
The NRL superstar, 25, looked glum as ambled through the terminal after the five hour flight to Sydney.
He dressed casually in white shorts and a matching coloured jumper as he walked to an awaiting car following his trip to Perth where he reunited with his girlfriend.
The couple were spotted arriving together in a hire car to Perth Airport on Thursday evening.
The pair caught separate flights out of the city, with Fowler departing to London via Dubai and Cleary returning to Sydney.
