Professional playing career

Rugby League

Everingham played for the Sea Eagles' NSW Cup reserve-grade team in 2006 [3] before moving on to the Western Suburbs Magpies, also in the NSW Cup. In 2010, Wests Tigers coach Tim Sheens asked Everingham to come and train with the first-grade team 2 days a week. However, he could not break into the NRL.

In 2011, Everingham signed a 1-year contract with the South Sydney Rabbitohs after new Souths coach Michael Maguire was impressed by a highlights package of Everingham that was sent to a number of clubs. [4] In Round 3 of the 2012 NRL season he made his NRL debut for the Rabbitohs against Penrith Panthers. He scored a try on debut, in just the second minute of the game with his first touch of the ball. He then scored at least one try in his next four games including two tries in three of those games, giving him one of the most successful starts to a career in terms of try-scoring of all time. [5] [6] On 4 May 2012, Everingham re-signed with the Rabbitohs for 1 year. [7]

In July 2012, Everingham confirmed his availability to play for the Philippines national rugby league team in the post season, [8] and made his debut in the Asian Cup in 2013. [9]

Rugby Union

With the 2013 NRL season drawing to a close, questions on whether or not South Sydney would re-sign him emerged. Everingham showed interest in staying with much improved Bunnies. [10] By this time Japanese Rugby Union teams have expressed interest in signing Everingham due to his Asian passport.

On 20 August 2013, it was announced that Japanese 2nd division Rugby Union side Fukuoka Sanix Blues had successfully procured Everingham's services for the coming season to start on October of the same year. Everingham was reported to have been offered a $500,000 per year contract; almost four times an extension contract from the South Sydney which was at $130,000. [11]
