Fran Goldthorp averaged 148 running metres per game in 2026, the NRLW's ninth-highest figure.
The 23-year-old English international also recorded four tries, five try assists and 31 tackle breaks across 11 appearances.
Her form helped earn the reigning Cowboys NRLW Player of the Year a contract extension with North Queensland through the end of the 2028 season.
The new agreement covers the next two seasons, replacing a 2027 deal that included a mutual option.
Since the Cowboys joined the women's competition in 2023, Goldthorp has played 39 of the club's possible 41 games.
She has featured in every position across the back five, but returned to her preferred fullback role in 2026.
"Fran is a pleasure to coach," Cowboys NRLW head coach Ricky Henry said.
"She's curious and a fast learner. Her development and growth is reflected in her form and we are very happy she has extended.
"We believe she has so much more ahead of her and I look forward to helping her become an elite NRLW player."
Goldthorp said she was delighted to stay in North Queensland.
"I am grateful for another opportunity to pull on the Cowboys jersey," she said.
"I am excited for this year, we have a lot of new faces and new challenges but we have the same end goal and that is to bring a premiership to North Queensland."
