Reynolds accepts pay cut in new Broncos deal

Brisbane has locked in veteran halfback and captain Adam Reynolds for one more year.

The 33-year-old has agreed to a one-year extension which the Broncos are poised to announce by the end of this week, according to 9News reporter Ben Dobbin.

It means he will suit up for a 14th season in the NRL as Reynolds strives to bring the Queensland capital its first rugby league premiership since 2006.

“This is great news for the captain and great news for the Broncos,” Dobbin told 9News.

“The deal is done, expect the Broncos to make this announcement when they land in Los Angeles in the coming days.”

Coach Kevin Walters talks tactics with Adam Reynolds.

Reynolds is flying to Las Vegas for the Broncos’ opening round clash with the Roosters on Sunday week.

The 2014 title winner is said to be earning $800,000 this season but reports claim he has accepted a significant pay cut to play in 2025.

A fortnight ago Reynolds explained to Wide World of Sports why he was happy to sacrifice some dollars.

“It’s all right, you’ve got to sort of do that when you get to my age to keep the players in the squad,” he said.

“We’ve got a lot of great talent in the team and if it means taking a bit of a haircut I’m more than happy to do that if it means keeping this club heading in the right direction.

“The club’s in good hands, it’s certainly heading in the right direction.

“There’s no reason this club can’t have the success it had back in the day, and that’s what we’re trying to achieve here.”

Reynolds won the 2014 grand final with South Sydney and played 231 games for his beloved Bunnies across a decade.

He’s played 43 NRL games for the Broncos in his first two seasons at the club, which should at least double if he can stay fit for the next two campaigns.
