The Brisbane Broncos NRLW have made a significant re-signing, adding two years to Julia Robinson’s deal, which will keep her with the club until the end of the 2027 season.
The standout winger, who has three NRLW premierships with the club, has been with the Broncos since their first season in the division.
Robinson has joined the club’s Game Development team following his contract extension. As the first female Game Development Officer, she will be able to contribute back to schools and the community.
To date, the 26-year-old has played 24 games for Australia, including the recent Rugby League World Cup in 2022, as well as three State of Origin series for Queensland.
“This opportunity came up and when I was first told about it, I knew I couldn’t say no because what more would I want to do than work and play in the Broncos and be a part of such a great club, now working and playing with my mates?” , Robinson said in an interview with broncos.com.au.
“Now I get to give back by going out to schools and the community and helping pave the way future generations of female athletes.”
“I feel like the Broncos are my second home. “When I walk in, everyone makes me feel so welcome,” she explained.
“I’m overjoyed; I’ve always wanted to be a one-club person, and I couldn’t be happier to be a part of the Broncos for the rest of my rugby league career.
“It’s such a great club, especially given how much they support us; you can’t help but want to be a part of it.
“I would like a few more Premierships, I want to get to the Grand Final again and hopefully bring the trophy home for Brisbane.”
Scott Prince, the head coach of the Brisbane Broncos NRLW squad, was overjoyed to see her stay with the club in the future and excited to see her take on a larger role.
“This is excellent news not only for Julia, but also for the entire club. “I look forward to seeing what else she can do every time she steps on the pitch,” added Prince.
“She (Robinson) is an influential part of our gameplay and her presence will definitely bolster the strength of the team.”
