AdminAfter agreeing to a one-year contract for the 2026 season, Broncos captain Adam Reynolds will play in his 15th season in the NRL. The 34-year-old won a premiership with the Rabbitohs in 2014 after making his NRL debut at Souths in 2013. After relocating to Brisbane in 2022, he has played 70 games for Red Hill, bringing his career total to 300.
Family is vital to me, and this is home. The club and the community have embraced me and my family,” Reynolds remarked. “I want to be a part of what we are creating here going forward because we are truly creating something special.” Star centre Kotoni Staggs has also signed a new contract, extending his stay to the end of the 2028 campaign. The 26-year-old made his NRL debut against the Roosters in Round 11, 2018, after joining the Broncos as a teenager through the Academy pathways program.
In his 131 games for the team, Staggs has scored 55 tries thanks to his explosive power and ability to breach the line. “I am appreciative of the opportunity to remain with the team that has helped me since I was a child and has stood by me as I have grown as a player and a person,” Staggs stated. “Playing in the Broncos jersey means a lot to me; I put my heart into it every time and give it my all on the field.”
Additionally, young player Blake Mozer has agreed to a two-year contract deal with the Broncos. The 21-year-old has already made nine top-tier appearances in the NRL since making his debut in the last round of the 2023 season. Heath Mason, an up-and-coming playmaker, has been signed by the Wests Tigers to an extended contract that will keep him there for another year. The 20-year-old’s contract was extended through the conclusion of the 2026 season and he was instantly added to the team’s top-30 squad.
Since making his debut last year, Mason has participated in ten NRL games, and coach Benji Marshall is excited to watch the local kid grow into a consistent first-grade player. “Heath deserves this expansion and upgrading. “Seeing the pathways system produce athletes like Heath is fantastic,” Marshall remarked. “He is a great kid from a great family, and we look forward to seeing him develop further as a footballer into 2026.”
Ball-playing forward Bryce Cartwright has returned to his rugby league starting point after leaving the Eels to pursue fresh chances. Prior to advancing through the Penrith Panthers system, Cartwright began his career with the St. Mary’s Saints. He now returns to St Mary’s to wrap out his professional playing career after periods with the Gold Coast Titans and a life-changing time at Parramatta. It always felt like home away from home, so I’m incredibly grateful to the Eels for giving me the chance to be a part of this team.
I’m departing with happy memories, friends for life, and appreciation for everyone’s help, especially the ardent supporters who have always loved me.” Tanner Stowers-Smith, a rising forward, has agreed to a three-year contract extension with the Warriors. After making his NRL debut in Round 11, the 21-year-old is expected to play a significant role in the pack in the upcoming seasons. He will stay with the team until the 2028 season is over at the latest. The Warriors have risen through the ranks this season thanks to a quality group of up-and-coming forwards, and coach Andrew Webster is keen for Stowers-Smith to become a physical asset. “Tanner’s development has been fantastic,” Webster stated.
For a young forward, his debut against the Dolphins was really excellent. He is absorbing everything, picking up tips from our coaches like Fish (James Fisher-Harris) and Mitch (Mitchell Barnett), and making every effort to improve as a player. “It shows how well our development system is working that we have Tanner and this group of players coming through at the same time while knowing there are more behind them.” Following his immediate release by the Sydney Roosters, English international Dom Young will stay in Newcastle until the end of the 2027 campaign.
After spending two seasons with the Knights in 2022 and 2023, Young played 31 NRL games for the Roosters. Last Saturday, he played his final game for the team against his new teammates. Newcastle has signed the talented winger till the conclusion of the 2027 campaign. After agreeing to a contract extension, teenage phenom Fletcher Hunt will remain with the Knights until at least the end of 2027. The 19-year-old has averaged 119 run meters per game in his four NRL games since making his debut against the Eels in Round 11.
The new agreement calls for promotion to the club’s Top 30 in 2027 as well as immediate elevation to an NRL development contract for 2025 and 2026. “This contract upgrade and extension is a fitting reward for Fletcher’s hard work and competitive nature, which have earned him the respect of his teammates and staff,” said Peter O’Sullivan, head of recruitment for the nib Knights. “He has made a name for himself in our system in just one year, which is amazing for such a young player, especially coming from a small country area.”
Jojo Fifita, an outside back, has been re-signed by the Titans to a two-year contract extension that will run through the end of the 2027 campaign. Fifita has played 49 games for the Titans, scoring 22 tries since making his NRL debut in Round 18 of the 2022 season. “This means a lot to me,” the 22-year-old statement read. “I’ve had many chances to develop as a player with this club, both on and off the pitch. “I’m really excited to see what the next chapter has to offer.” After agreeing to a new three-year contract, Dragons hooker Jacob Liddle has decided to stay with the team longer. The 28-year-old will remain with the Red V until the conclusion of the 2028 season at the latest thanks to the contract extension.
Since joining the Dragons prior to the 2023 season, Liddle has participated in 56 of 60 games and scored 14 tries. Dragons head coach Shane Flanagan stated, “Jacob has been a really important player for us since joining the club, and his form this year has been outstanding.” “He’s been able to turn his somewhat altered role this year into some quite spectacular performances coming off the interchange. “Whether starting or coming off the bench, he is a consistent and dependable player for us, and we are thrilled to be able to extend his tenure at the club by an additional three years.”
In preparation for his comeback to the NRL, former Panther Taylan May has agreed to a train and trial deal with the Wests Tigers. After police dropped charges early this year, the outside back, who departed Penrith last year due to an off-field incident, is now free to start training with the Tigers. May will start training right now, and if training and off-field requirements are fulfilled, she will be eligible for selection. The agreement is valid until the end of this season. May has developed significantly off the pitch and merited a second opportunity as a player, according to Wests Tigers CEO Shane Richardson.
Taylan is undoubtedly a talented athlete who will bolster our team even more in the latter stages of the competition, Richardson stated. However, we also think that being with family and friends increases his chances of success both on and off the pitch. “He will now have the opportunity to play with his brother Terrell, which is important to him, in addition to getting back to a team environment.” The agreement follows last week’s signing of Kai Pearce-Paul, a forward for Newcastle, to a three-year contract. With a deal that expires in 2028, the English international will join the team for the upcoming season.
Since joining Newcastle at the beginning of the previous season from Wigan, Pearce-Paul has developed into a potent edge forward, and he will provide the Tigers more offensive potency. Coach Benji Marshall remarked, “Kai is a powerful, mobile forward who really suits what we’re building here.” “He will contribute valuable traits to our team and is not only a fantastic athlete but also a wonderful person. “I’m really looking forward to coaching him and seeing the impact he’ll have on our squad.”
