The controversial career of fiery former Queensland Origin<\/a> and Kangaroos<\/a> prop Josh McGuire<\/a> is in danger of coming to an abrupt end.<\/p>\n

A polarising figure who often found himself in strife in his 14-year career with the Broncos, Cowboys and Dragons, 33-year-old McGuire moved to England this year hoping for a fresh start.<\/p>\n
