The rugby league community is in mourning following the death of former NSW and Kangaroos star Terry Hill at the age of 52.

The Daily Telegraph is reporting the former NRL centre died due to a heart attack while in the Philippines.

Hill had reportedly been spending more time in the Philippines in recent years where had been working with a charity.

The colourful NRL great played 246 first grade games after debuting with South Sydney in 1990.

He retired in 2005 while playing with Manly.

He also featured in 15 Origins for NSW and had eight caps with the Kangaroos.

“He was a typical kid from Erskineville,” former Souths teammate Craig Coleman told The Daily Telegraph.

“Terry was a fantastic South Sydney junior and we looked after him when he came into grade.

“He was a tremendous footballer. I know his whole family. It’s very sad, devastating.

More to come.
