Ben Barba's career at Brisbane is over, with coach Wayne Bennett telling the former Canterbury star he can't guarantee him a spot in the Broncos side next National Rugby League season.
Barba has two years to run on his current deal and the fullback and sometime five-eighth has been tipped to sign with Cronulla in the coming days.
Bennett told The Courier Mail it was hard telling Barba he had no future at the Broncos.
The Broncos have signed fullback-pivot options Darius Boyd and Anthony Milford for 2015, squeezing Barba out of the club.
