TROUBLED Wallabies back Kurtley Beale has been told he will not be offered a contract in 2014 by the Melbourne Rebels, who last week ditched James O'Connor as part of an end-of-season clear-out.
Beale has spent significant time on the sidelines due to discipline issues and was stood down by the Rebels for over a month after punching two teammates in a boozy incident on a team bus in South Africa early in the season.
He was stood down again in May for drinking and spent time in a private health clinic, before being photographed at a fast food restaurant with O'Connor early in the morning in the lead-up to the second test against the British and Irish Lions. The pair also reportedly missed the bus to training during the build-up to the third test in Sydney.
The decision to cut Beale loose is part of an end-of-season clear-out by the Rebels, who also sacked head coach Damien Hill a day after dumping O'Connor.
The Rebels also let go captain Gareth Delve as well as Wallabies backs Nick Phipps and Cooper Vuna.
