NRL St George Dragons player Kyle Flanagan and his fiancee Caity Airey have secured their first home together.
Their $2.65m acquisition was off-market.
They’ve bought the Burraneer home from Caity’s parents, Janelle and Craig Airey, a former director at the Cronulla Sharks, where Kyle previously played under his coach father, Shane.
Now both the Flanagans are at the Dragons.

The two-storey, mid-century, modern-style home had been bought by Craig and Janelle for $1.38m in 2008.
It has five bedrooms, three bedrooms, water views and a pool. The Aireys retain a home on the same street bought for $5.3m in 2003.
They also spent $7.7m on an apartment in the Opera Residences apartment development at Circular Quay in 2017, securing a three-bedroom place off the plan in the 2019 completed Macquarie St building.

Kyle and Caitlin were engaged in Hawaii late last year after being together for about a decade.
Kyle was congratulated by his former teammates at the Bulldogs and the Sharks.
A subsequent profile on the clubs’ players and their partners noted it was the only social media posting by the private couple
The 25-year old five-eighth started his career at the Sharks in 2018 before joining the Roosters for a season in 2020. A year later, he joined the Bulldogs up until this season, when he joined the Dragons, having made 79 NRL appearances.
He is under contract with the Dragons until at least the end of the 2025 season.
PropTrack puts the median five-bedroom Burraneer house price at $3,075,000. Overall house prices sit at a $2,922,500 median, down 27 per cent annually after 44 sales in the past 12 months.
