In news that will delight Brisbane Broncos fans, star winger Selwyn Cobbo has signed a surprise contract extension, shutting down weeks of speculation about a potential move away from the club.
Cobbo, 23, was nearing the end of his current deal and was widely tipped to test the open market, with strong interest reportedly coming from rival NRL clubs. However, the Broncos confirmed overnight that Cobbo has penned a new four-year extension, keeping him at Red Hill until the end of the 2029 season.
> “I’ve always loved playing for Brisbane — this club means a lot to me,” Cobbo said in a statement. “We’ve got something special building here, and I want to be part of it.”
The announcement comes as a major boost for the Broncos, who are looking to lock down their core young talent. The club is also preparing for contract talks with fullback Reece Walsh, another rising star viewed as key to the Broncos’ long-term success.
Head coach Kevin Walters welcomed the news, saying:
> “Selwyn’s a rare talent — he’s electric, fearless, and a great teammate. This is a huge win for the club and our fans.”
Social media erupted with excitement just minutes after the news broke, with many fans calling the move a “massive win” for the club’s premiership hopes.
