- The NRL superstar’s camera skills leave a lot to be desired
- Got red-faced after Mary Fowler’s recent Instagram story
- The power couple is determined to make their relationship work
Nathan Cleary is in many people’s eyes the best rugby league player in the world, but his photographic skills certainly need some refinement.
The Panthers halfback, 26, is currently on holiday abroad with his girlfriend – Matildas and Manchester City star Mary Fowler – and he showed his romantic side publicly after she posted some photos from a recent football trip to Austria.
“You take some nice pictures,” Cleary posted on Instagram in response to Fowler’s photo dump from Vienna.
Fowler then posted another image to an Instagram story on Friday – and the footy superstar is said to have cringed.
The photo had the accompanying image – ‘nice photo babes’ – after Cleary tried to take a quick photo – with the camera lens still on.
Earlier this week, Fowler, 21, scored the winner for the Citizens in their 3-2 win against St.Pölten in the UEFA Women’s Champions League.
She headed home in the 80th minute to seal valuable three points on the road after compatriot Alanna Kennedy opened the scoring with a rocket from 25 yards.
“I’m just happy to get that win with the girls and obviously it feels really good to be able to help with a goal like that,” Fowler said.
