It's believed Wallabies coach Michael Cheika has been negotiating the deal with Beale, who only a couple of months back was facing the sack over offensive text messages he sent to then Wallabies business manager Di Patstson.

The news comes as a much-needed boost for the Wallabies nine months out from the World Cup.

Meanwhile playmaker Quade Cooper has confirmed a new one-year deal deal that will take him through until the end of 2015.
