Broncos extend contract of feisty back-up half

The Brisbane Broncos have re-signed halfback Tyson Gamble, extending his contract for another two years.

Gamble, a feisty 25-year-old playmaker who has played 11 NRL games, is now locked in until the end of the 2023 season.

He shapes as a back-up halfback, given that the Broncos have signed South Sydney premiership winner Adam Reynolds for next season, but said that he was rapt to be staying with Brisbane.

"It's unreal to re-sign with the Broncos – I love the way the club is going, the direction that [coach] Kev [Walters] is taking us and I'm looking forward to the future," he said in a Broncos statement on Thursday.

"It's good to keep the young blokes around, it's a good crew that we've got here at the moment and the longer we keep all of us together, the better we can go.

"We've had a bit of a refresh mid-season and after that win against the Sharks, there's no reason we can't get a few more to finish off the season, and we can then build into 2022."

Gamble joins a raft of recent re-signings, including Kotoni Staggs, Kobe Hetherington, Jordan Riki, David Mead, Brendan Piakura, TC Robati and Selwyn Cobbo. Reynolds, Kurt Capewell and Brenko Lee – all State of Origin representatives – have been recruited for next season.
