Ben Hunt Signs Long-Term Deal to Return to Brisbane Broncos Until 2027
In a major boost for the Brisbane Broncos, the club has confirmed the return of star halfback Ben Hunt on a long-term contract, extending until the 2027 NRL season.
Hunt, who began his NRL career with the Broncos before a successful stint at St George Illawarra, will rejoin the club where he made his name, bringing with him years of experience and leadership. The signing is expected to be a game-changer for the Broncos as they continue to build their squad for sustained success in the coming seasons.
“I’m thrilled to be coming back to the Broncos,” Hunt said in a statement. “This club has always felt like home to me, and I can’t wait to get back on the field with the team and contribute to our journey ahead. I’m looking forward to helping the Broncos return to the top of the NRL.”
The long-term deal represents a significant statement of intent by the Broncos, who have been building towards a premiership in recent years. Hunt’s return adds valuable depth and experience to the squad, particularly in the crucial halfback position. Broncos coach Kevin Walters expressed his excitement about the signing.
“Ben is a proven leader and one of the best playmakers in the competition,” Walters said. “Having him back at the Broncos will provide the team with a steady head in key moments and give our younger players someone to learn from.”
Hunt’s return to Brisbane is set to reinvigorate the Broncos’ campaign and strengthen their push for finals contention in the seasons to come. Fans are already eagerly anticipating the return of one of their favourite sons to Suncorp Stadium.
This signing marks a significant milestone in the club’s future, with the Broncos securing one of the game’s most talented and experienced players for the long haul.
