Adam Reynolds, a standout halfback for the Brisbane Broncos, is reportedly willing to take a wage cut in order to play for the team until 2025.
Reynolds left the South Sydney Rabbitohs, who at the time would only offer him a one-year contract, after signing a three-year contract to join the Broncos.
In an attempt to secure his professional future towards the conclusion of his NRL career, Reynolds showed he had much more than one season left in him by leading the Broncos to the 2023 grand final, even if they lost to the Penrith Panthers in the championship game.
The halfback has been rumoured to be in discussions over adding another year to his career for some time, and it’s now being reported by News Corp that the extension will likely come with a pay cut in a selfless act that will allow him to continue leading around the club’s young stars for another season.
The announcement was made less than a day after the Broncos announced that long-expected Reynolds halfback Ezra Mam would be re-signing. With the signing of a five-year agreement, the youthful five-eighth, who first made waves in 2022 but reached new heights in his first full NRL season in 2023, has committed to Red Hill through at least the end of 2029.
The salary cap has been a little stretched as a result of that, the club’s push to re-sign Reece Walsh, and other recent actions to tie down Brendan Piakura and Jordan Riki, among others. However, some of that weight will be relieved by Walsh’s decision to sign for less money.
Reynolds’ re-signing is one other player on the Broncos’ roster desperately want to see happen, and it has been widely reported that once the now 33-year-old does retire, he will step straight into a role on Kevin Walters’ coaching staff, having settled into life in Brisbane.
