CONFIRMED: “HE’S BACK” — Brisbane Broncos’ Patrick Carrigan Signs Two-Year, $88.9 Million Deal to Finish What He Started
In a blockbuster move that has electrified the NRL world, Brisbane Broncos superstar Patrick Carrigan has officially reached an agreement today on a two-year deal with a max value of $88.9 million. The deal, confirmed by club officials and Carrigan’s representatives, ensures that the heart and soul of the Broncos forward pack will remain in Brisbane through the 2026 season. The announcement comes as a massive win for the club, the fans, and Carrigan himself — a hometown hero determined to finish what he started.
Carrigan, 26, has been one of the most consistent and inspirational players in the NRL since his debut. Known for his tireless work rate, elite leadership, and unshakeable commitment, Carrigan played a pivotal role in guiding the Broncos back into premiership contention. His influence both on and off the field has earned him praise from coaches, teammates, and fans alike. After months of speculation surrounding his future, today’s announcement puts to rest any doubts: Carrigan is staying loyal to the club that shaped him.
The two-year deal is believed to be one of the most lucrative contracts in NRL history, with its $88.9 million max value including salary, performance bonuses, loyalty incentives, and endorsement alignments. Carrigan’s market value had soared following his stellar performances in the State of Origin and NRL Finals, drawing attention from rival clubs across Australia and even overseas. But in the end, it was his deep connection to Brisbane — and his belief in the Broncos’ long-term vision — that convinced him to stay. “This club means everything to me,” Carrigan said in a statement. “We’ve built something special, and I’m not done yet. I’m here to win.”
Broncos CEO Dave Donaghy praised the agreement, calling it a “monumental moment” for the club. “Patrick Carrigan embodies everything this club stands for — toughness, integrity, and loyalty. He’s a leader not just by words, but by example. Securing his future here sends a powerful message about where the Broncos are heading,” Donaghy said. Head coach Kevin Walters echoed the sentiment, describing Carrigan as “the engine room” of the team and a crucial pillar in their quest for a premiership title. “Pat’s the kind of player you build around,” Walters added.
Carrigan’s decision to stay comes at a critical time for the Broncos, who are entering the new season with one of the most balanced and dangerous squads in the league. With marquee players like Reece Walsh, Payne Haas, and Kotoni Staggs also locked in, Brisbane looks poised to make another serious run at the title. Carrigan’s leadership, both in defense and as a steadying presence in high-pressure moments, will be central to their success. Analysts believe that with this contract locked in, Carrigan may also be primed to take on an even larger leadership role within the Maroons in future Origin series.
As fans across Queensland celebrate the news, Carrigan took a moment to thank them for their unwavering support. “Broncos fans are the best in the world — they’ve had my back since day one. I play for them, and I can’t wait to run out in front of them again at Suncorp.” With his return confirmed and the ink dry on the deal, the focus now turns to the field, where Patrick Carrigan is more determined than ever to bring glory back to Brisbane. And judging by the passion in his voice and the fire in his game — he’s just getting started.
