SYDNEY (Reuters) - Greg Inglis, the 2009 rugby league world player of the year who retired last month, has entered a care facility to assist with his mental health, the South Sydney Rabbitohs said on Friday.

Inglis won two World Cups with Australia and was part of the Queensland team that dominated State of Origin for a decade before ending his career at the Rabbitohs, who he helped win a first National Rugby League (NRL) title in 43 years in 2014.
