POLICE have dropped an assault charge against rugby union star Kurtley Beale after the playmaker reached an agreement through mediation with his alleged victim.
Beale, 24, faced a Brisbane court last July after allegations he hit a bouncer at the Victory Hotel, in Brisbane's CBD, on the morning before an Australia-Wales Test on June 8, 2012.
It was alleged the incident followed a refusal by hotel staff to allow entry for Beale and teammate Quade Cooper.
Beale faced one count of common assault.
However, he took the case to mediation.
During a brief mention on Wednesday in Brisbane Magistrates Court, it was revealed the parties had reached an agreement out of court and the charge was dropped.
No details of the agreement were given.
Beale, who is now based in Melbourne, was not in court.
The 24-year-old Beale's future with the Wallabies remains up in the air, and his availability for Australia's home series against the British and Irish Lions, starting in June, is uncertain.
Beale agreed to an indefinite break from rugby in late March and has been undergoing counselling after being sent home from South Africa for fighting with two Melbourne Rebels teammates after a Super Rugby match.
He has since been linked to a possible return to the NSW Waratahs, or a switch to the NRL with St George Illawarra.
The Rebels have said their first priority is helping Beale with alcohol issues rather than worrying about him being poached, but teammates say they are keen to have him back.
Wallabies playmaker Will Genia said he hoped to see Beale back on the playing field sooner rather than later.
"He's a great player and a great mate. He's someone that puts bums on seats in the way that he plays the game," Genia said.
"I am looking forward to him getting his life back on track and then playing some good footy."
