NRL halfback Nathan Cleary has bought a home at Curl Curl on Sydney's Northern Beaches for $5.5 million and listed it for rent right away at $2,350 per week.

The Penrith Panthers star bought the beachside home and placed it on the rental market rather than moving in. Curl Curl sits on Sydney's Northern Beaches, one of the city's more sought-after coastal strips. No additional information about the property's features or settlement date have been disclosed.
