Melbourne captain Cameron Smith has returned to training

Cameron Smith has officially returned to training with the Melbourne Storm, marking the end to a stalemate with the club over his playing future. Although his re-signing is yet to be announced by the club, the 35-year-old skipper has been training with the team since last week when he returned from an extended break with his family. Storm
officials have consistently maintained an agreement would be reached with their captain, and it’s expected to be announced this week.Smith, who will turn 36 in June, is now in line to become rugby league’s first 400-game player — a feat that is unlikely to be repeated. Heading into his 18th season, Smith is the highest-capped rugby league player of all time with 384 NRL games across 17 years of first grade with Melbourne.
