Hooker Tyson Smoothy has become the latest Brisbane Bronco to sign a contract extension, committing to the club until the end of the 2025 season.
The 24-year-old was one of the good-news stories of 2023 for Brisbane, winning an NRL contract after joining the club during the pre-season on a train-and-trial deal, before forcing his way into the top 17 for the back half of the season and playing in the NRL Grand Final.


A Broncos Academy Graduate and former Brisbane NYC hooker, the Sunshine Coast local went on to make 13 appearances for the Broncos in 2023, predominantly as the No.14 coming off the interchange into dummy half.
His crisp passing, solid defence, high work ethic and friendly nature made him a favourite amongst teammates - the former Hostplus Cup Hooker of the Year also chiming in with three try assists and four line break assists for the season from limited minutes.

Smoothy joins a host of teammates to commit to the club's future until at least the end of 2025 including Payne Haas, Pat Carrigan, Jordan Riki, Brendan Piakura, Reece Walsh, Kotoni Staggs, Selwyn Cobbo, Kobe Hetherington, Jesse Arthars, Corey Jensen, Deine Mariner, Xavier Willison, Tristan Sailor and Blake Mozer.

Broncos Coach Kevin Walters said: "Tyson made the most of his opportunity after joining us at the start of last preseason as a train-and-trial player and all his hard work paid off as the year went on.

He has a great attitude both on and off the field, knows what his role is and really fits into the team and what it means to be a Bronco.
Kevin WaltersHead Coach

It's great news that he has signed a contract extension and it's thoroughly deserved."

Breakout playmaker Ezra Mam has become the latest Brisbane Bronco to commit long-term to the club, signing a five-year contract extension to the end of the 2029 season.

The 21-year-old set the NRL alight during 2023 in his first full season in the top grade, making the Broncos’ No.6 jersey his own with a string of standout performances.

A Broncos Academy graduate who started in the club’s talent pathways aged 13, Mam made his NRL debut in Round 11, 2022 against the Knights and now has 38 appearances under his belt including 24 tries and 16 try assists.

His 2023 season – capped by a three-try performance in the Grand Final – saw him make 25 NRL appearances for 18 tries, 9 try assists, 10 line break assists, 56 tackle breaks, 9 offloads and 98 running metres per game.

Broncos Coach Kev Walters said Mam’s retention was fantastic for the Club and another key player locked in for the long-term.

“Ezra is a born-and-bred Bronco and it's great that he is staying where he belongs,” said Walters.

“He is an exciting player but he also likes to get in there and do the tough stuff and to do what needs to be done for his team.

“We have only scratched the surface on what Ez can do – we’ll keep on working with him to improve his game and I can’t wait to see what we can achieve together over the years ahead.”

Broncos Captain Adam Reynolds has become the latest Brisbane Bronco to recommit to the club, signing a contract extension to the end of the 2025 season.

The 274-gamer is entering his third year at the Broncos where his 43 appearances have been central to the squad’s steady rise to Grand Finalists last season.


Reynolds delivers unrivalled leadership, creativity with the ball in hand or at foot and an uncanny game sense, as well as plenty of points with the No.7 already notching 359 points for the Broncos from 11 tries, 155 goals and three field goals.
In total he has amassed 2,254 points across his 12 seasons in the NRL from 49 tries, 1,015 goals and 25 field goals.

Reynolds joins a host of teammates to commit to the club's future until at least the end of 2025 including Ezra Mam, Payne Haas, Pat Carrigan, Reece Walsh, Jordan Riki, Brendan Piakura, Kotoni Staggs, Selwyn Cobbo, Kobe Hetherington, Jesse Arthars, Tyson Smoothy, Corey Jensen, Deine Mariner, Xavier Willison, Tristan Sailor and Blake Mozer.

Broncos Coach Kevin Walters said Reynolds' retention was another major coup for the Club.

"We all know what Reyno brings to our club - he is our leader and our general and he has made a huge impact in a short time here at the Broncos," said Walters.
"He has made a home here in Brisbane with his family, and our supporters have really adopted him as one of their own - Reyno is very much one of "us" now here in the Sunshine State.

"I'm looking forward to seeing Reyno running out to lead our team and helping bring out the best in our emerging talent, as well as continuing to do those things that only he can do with the ball in hand."

Authorbroncos.com.auTimestampWed 27 Mar 2024, 06:30 PM

The Brisbane Broncos have extended the contract of Head Coach Kevin Walters to the end of 2026.

Broncos CEO Dave Donaghy said the one-year extension was recognition of Walters’ success in developing the football program, and would provide continued stability for the club going forward.

Walters, a five-time Premiership winner with the Broncos and former Captain with 241 premiership games as a player, was announced as Head Coach at the end of 2020 at a difficult time for the club and he has overseen consistent improvement both on and off the field in his time as coach.


Donaghy said: “This is the third time that we have extended Kev’s tenure as Head Coach and that’s reflective of the job he is doing in leading positive change across our football program.

He has taken the team from last place to a Grand Final appearance last season in a short period of time, and his sights are firmly set on continuing that improvement in the years ahead.
Dave Donaghy

“This contract extension extends the runway for Kev and his team, giving us continuity and certainty to keep adding to the building blocks that the club has put in place under his stewardship.”

Walters, who with 78 games as Broncos Head Coach to his name is fast closing on becoming the club’s second-longest serving mentor, said: “It’s no secret how much I love the Broncos, and being able to coach this group for even one game rates as an absolute honour for me.

"To extend my time as coach for a third time is testament to the hard work of all the players and coaches and staff who work as part of our football department.

We have had some success but we are hungry for much more and I believe that we have all bought into building something special here together at the Broncos.
Kevin Walters

In addition to the consistent improvement in on-field performance under Walters, the club has also retained a host of high-calibre talent developed through the Broncos' Academy system including Payne Haas, Pat Carrigan, Ezra Mam, Jordan Riki, Brendan Piakura, Kotoni Staggs, Selwyn Cobbo, Kobe Hetherington, Tyson Smoothy, Deine Mariner, Xavier Willison and Blake Mozer.

Broncos Coach Kev Walters said: “We as a club are proud of the way Billy has improved his footy since joining the Broncos – he has fought hard to get every bit of his NRL career.

“Some players get everything at their feet but Billy has had some injuries and some disappointment but he has stuck at it and worked really hard… and now he’s playing some good football for us and continuing to improve every week.”
