AdminAdam Reynolds, the Brisbane Broncos captain, has four children: Aaliyah, Nakylah, Kobe, and Zariyaa. Zariyaa, born on March 21, 2017, is known to be a significant part of his life. In a 2025 interview, Reynolds shared how his daughter, Zariyaa, is his “number 1 fan,” highlighting their close bond and her support during his career.
Hull FC is actively seeking a new half-back and has initiated discussions with Brisbane Broncos playmaker Jock Madden. The Black and Whites aim to find a new half to partner with club captain Aidan Sezer in the upcoming season, with their focus on the Australian talent as they work on a potential deal.
According to Hull Live, the club is eager to sign Madden, who has previously been associated with a transfer to the Super League. They have reached out to the 25-year-old, who has had prior coaching under John Cartwright at the Broncos, and it is understood the club is keen to finalize an agreement.
Madden joined Brisbane prior to the 2023 season and spent two years under Cartwright, who is quite familiar with his capabilities. It’s anticipated that he would immediately slot into the side next season alongside Sezer, with Cade Cust reverting to the interchange position for which he was initially recruited. Since Jordan Abdull’s departure in January, Cust has been a regular in the starting lineup next to Sezer this year, but the club believes he can make a significant impact by covering both half-back and hooker roles in a ’14’ position—the latter in which he performed admirably during last week’s come-from-behind victory against Wakefield Trinity, with Cartwright mentioning his performance post-game.
If a deal is finalized, Madden would occupy Hull’s 10th and final quota slot, as clubs received notification about an overseas extension last week. The team has already brought in Leeds prop Sam Lisone and St Helens forward James Bell, re-signed Liam Knight, and has six quota players secured for next season: John Asiata, Jed Cartwright, Herman Ese’ese, Jordan Rapana, Sezer, and Cust. Currently, the Australian is recovering from a pectoral injury sustained in May, with his club, Brisbane, indicating that his recuperation would take “several months. ” However, he is expected to be ready for pre-season training in November and certainly for trial matches and the season kickoff next year, assuming a signing occurs.
