Reece Walsh has officially committed his future to the Brisbane Broncos, leaving other clubs high and dry in a potential bidding war.
The electric fullback has put pen to paper on a new four-year deal that will see him don the maroon and gold jersey until 2029, promising to bring glory to the struggling club.
The 22-year-old sensation, who would have been a hot commodity on the free agent market, has now put all speculation to rest with a reported $4.4 million deal, rumored to be the biggest in Broncos history.
With his remarkable skills on the field, Walsh led the team to the grand final last year in his debut season after stints with the Warriors.
Known for his lightning speed, fancy footwork, and precise passing, Walsh has become a nightmare for opponents to handle.
His decision to stay with the Broncos is a massive coup for new coach Michael Maguire, who is dealing with off-field distractions in his first week at the helm.
With the opportunity to become the face of the struggling club, Walsh aims to bring success back to Brisbane, a team that has been starved of glory since their last title win in 2006.
"It's a special place here at the Broncos, and I'm stoked to be sticking around with all the boys - it's a ripper of a day," Walsh said with a grin.
