Sam Walker Signs Long-Term Deal with Brisbane Broncos
In a major coup for the Brisbane Broncos, star halfback Sam Walker has officially signed a long-term deal with the club, ending months of speculation about his future. The highly sought-after playmaker, who has been a key figure for the Sydney Roosters in recent seasons, will return to Queensland to join the Broncos in what is being hailed as one of the biggest signings in recent years.
Walker, 22, was born and raised in Ipswich and comes from a proud rugby league family. His decision to join Brisbane marks a homecoming, as he initially came through the Broncos’ junior pathways before opting to sign with the Roosters as a teenager. Since making his NRL debut in 2021, Walker has showcased his elite playmaking ability, earning a reputation as one of the most exciting young halves in the game.
Broncos coach Kevin Walters expressed his excitement about Walker’s arrival, stating that his creativity, kicking game, and composure under pressure would be invaluable assets to the team. “Sam is a natural footballer with a great instinct for the game. Bringing him into our squad is a massive boost for our future,” Walters said.
With Brisbane already boasting a strong roster, Walker’s signing adds another layer of attacking potency, particularly alongside captain Adam Reynolds. Given Reynolds’ experience and leadership, Walker will have the perfect mentor as he transitions into a key role for the club.
The move also signals Brisbane’s intent to remain a premiership contender for years to come. With young stars like Reece Walsh and Ezra Mam already shining, Walker’s addition strengthens the Broncos’ ambitions of securing their first NRL title since 2006.
Walker is expected to link up with his new teammates for the 2025 season, with fans eagerly anticipating his impact in Broncos colors.
