The former Roosters star, widely respected for his loyalty and leadership throughout an outstanding playing career, is understood to have made the difficult decision after consulting closely with family members and medical professionals.

Sources close to the club suggest Aubusson recently informed senior Roosters officials that he intends to step away from public and professional responsibilities in order to focus fully on his health and personal wellbeing.

In a brief statement reportedly shared internally, Aubusson is believed to have expressed gratitude to the club and supporters for their continued encouragement over the years.

“The Sydney Roosters have always been part of my life and family. This decision was incredibly difficult, but at this moment my focus must be on my health and recovery.”

The development has triggered an emotional reaction among Roosters supporters, many of whom still regard Aubusson as one of the club’s most dependable and selfless modern-era players.

During his remarkable NRL career, Aubusson became known for his versatility, professionalism, and commitment to the Roosters jersey, helping the club secure multiple premiership successes while earning enormous respect across the league.

Club insiders reportedly described the resignation as “heartbreaking” but emphasized that the organization fully supports Aubusson’s decision and wellbeing.

One source connected to the club stated:

“Mitchell has given everything to the Roosters both on and off the field. Right now, everyone simply wants him to recover and focus on himself and his family.”

Fans quickly flooded social media with messages of support shortly after the reports surfaced, with many praising Aubusson’s courage and thanking him for his years of service to the club.

Although the exact nature of the health concerns has not been publicly disclosed, supporters across the rugby league world have united in wishing the former star strength during this difficult period.

As the news continues to spread, many within the sport are hopeful that Aubusson will eventually return to the game in some capacity once his health improves. For now, however, the priority remains his recovery and wellbeing above all else.
