B\ufeffrisbane<\/a> wunderkind Reece Walsh<\/a> has hit back at reports he's signed a $5.5 million extension at Red Hill.<\/p>\n

The details ran in a News Corp story on Tuesday night, claiming Walsh was set to become the highest paid player in the club's history.<\/p>\n

Anthony Milford<\/a> became the Broncos' first $1m-a-year player when he signed a lucrative deal in 2015 – the year he went within a whisker of winning an NRL grand final with the team.<\/p>\n

\ufeffBut no player has pocketed $1.1m a season from the club.<\/p>\n

While Walsh may still become the first to do so, he took to Instagram on Tuesday night to deny a deal has been done.<\/p>\n

\ufeff"Don't believe everything you read," he posted.<\/p>\n

"No deal has been signed.<\/p>\n

"I'm doing me… I'll let you know when something happens."<\/p>\n

Walsh then joked, "Someone give Kev (Broncos coach Kevin Walters) my number… he's lost it I think".<\/p>\n

Earning $1.1m a year would put Walsh among the highest paid players in the game, although still a ways behind his rival for the Queensland No.1 jumper – Kalyn Ponga.<\/p>\n

Ponga is the best paid in the NRL at $1.4m a season.\ufeff<\/p>\n

\ufeffWalsh is sidelined for at least a month after suffering a facial fracture on Thursday night.<\/p>\n

He cemented himself as one of the best fullbacks in the game last year when he won an Origin series with Queensland, and almost a premiership with Brisbane.<\/p>\n

Fellow young gun teammate Ezra Mam inked a lucrative extension in February<\/a> which ties him to Red Hill until the end of 2029.<\/p>\n

\ufeffThe Broncos have arguably the most star-studded young list in the competition.<\/p>\n

The likes of Patrick Carrigan, Mam, Deine Mariner, Brendan Piakura, Jordan Riki, and Payne Haas have already committed for several years to come.\ufeff<\/p>\n

The Broncos next face the Cowboys on Friday.\ufeff<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
