Sharks’ prop The club has re-signed Toby Rudolf, who will stay until the end of 2026.
The 27-year-old, a late bloomer in the NRL, debuted in the first round of the 2020 season and has since played 81 games for Cronulla.
It’s starting to hold a particular place in my heart. I’ve spent my entire NRL career here, and I plan to stay for a little while more. That would be the cherry on top if I could finish this. I’m glad to be here; it’s a special spot,” Rudolf remarked.
Broncos forwards Jordan Riki and Brendan Piakura have also signed contract extensions and will remain at Red Hill through to the end of 2027.
Riki has played 67 games for the Broncos since debuting in 2020 and was a key figure in the club’s charge to the 2023 grand final.
“Jordan continues to work hard on his game, he does the little things really well and he wants to play his role for the team – and that’s exactly the kind of player we want in the Broncos jersey,” said coach Kevin Walters.
Piakura, meanwhile, established himself as an NRL regular in 2023, making 13 appearances.
The 21-year-old had six line breaks and averaged 72 metres per game, starting in five matches and coming off the bench in eight.
The Broncos also previously announced that veteran flyer Corey Oates will line up for a 12th season at Red Hill after signing a one-year contract extension with the 2023 grand finalists.
Oates debuted with Brisbane in Round 17 of the 2013 season against the Storm and has gone to play 201 NRL games including the 2015 grand final.
The 29-year-old has racked up 118 tries to sit fourth on the list of the Broncos’ top try-scorers behind Steve Renouf, Darren Lockyer and Michael Hancock.
“I’ll be trying to prove to myself that I’ve still got it and to show the coaches that I’ve still got it as well,” Oates said.
