Message: [QUOTE="Nashy, post: 3495017, member: 1976"] [SIZE=14px]In a huge show of faith in the Broncos, emerging centre Deine Mariner has signed a three-year extension on top of his current deal, which will see him remain at the club until the end of the 2027 season. The 19-year-old has been a revelation since making his Hostplus Cup debut for Broncos Affiliate Wynnum Manly Seagulls last season, scoring 12 tries in 12 games as well as making 57 tackle breaks, 12 linebreaks and running for 128 metres per game. Mariner is a Broncos Academy graduate and former Australian Schoolboys representative. He made his NRL debut for the Broncos at centre in Round 20 last season against the Tigers at Suncorp Stadium, also playing in Round 21 and averaging 114 running metres over those two appearances. Broncos Coach Kev Walters praised Mariner’s continued improvement and application to his training. “Deine has been developing very nicely as part of the Broncos system for a number of years now and he was rewarded for that hard work this season with elevation to the NRL Top-30 squad. He earned his NRL debut last year with us and has benefitted from a full preseason with the top squad leading into 2023. Deine brings a lot to the table in terms of speed and skill and I’m impressed by him as an individual off the field as well – we are thrilled that he will be part of what we are building here at the Broncos in the years ahead.” Mariner is the latest Broncos player to commit to the club's long-term future, joining the likes of Pat Carrigan, Reece Walsh, Selwyn Cobbo, Kotoni Staggs, Kobe Hetherington, Cory Paix, Corey Jensen, Jesse Arthars, Blake Mozer and Xavier Willison. Mariner expressed his excitement at the prospect of remaining at the Broncos for the foreseeable future. “I’m really happy to have extended my contract with the Broncos. This club means a lot to me and I’m looking forward to being part of what we are building here. I’m excited to continue working with Kev and the coaching staff, as well as my teammates, and I’m looking forward to the challenge of playing NRL on a regular basis.” The Broncos have struggled in recent years, finishing 14th in the 2021 NRL season. However, the club has been busy building for the future, with a focus on developing young talent. Mariner’s extension is a clear indication that the club is committed to nurturing and retaining its best young players. Mariner’s speed and skill make him a valuable asset to the Broncos, and his commitment to the club is a positive sign for the club’s supporters. The young centre has a bright future ahead of him, and if he can continue to develop his game, he could become a key player for the Broncos for years to come.[/SIZE] [I]Note: GPT wrote this article[/I] [/QUOTE]
