Melbourne Storm NRL star Greg Inglis is to undergo shoulder surgery this month which will rule him out of Australia's Four Nations campaign.

Inglis will play his last match for the Storm against Newcastle on Sunday after signing a lucrative new deal with the Brisbane Broncos.

While the Broncos don't want to jeopardise skipper Darren Lockyer's Four Nations availability by rushing him back from a rib injury, the club confirmed Inglis would go under the knife to ensure he's fit to start the 2011 season.

"Inglis is expected to have the surgery in the next few weeks, meaning he is certain to be fit for the Broncos when the 2011 NRL season commences in mid-March," the Broncos said today.
