Adam Reynolds’ future successor at the Brisbane Broncos, Coby Black has confirmed his future for the next two seasons after signing a new contract.
Highly regarded in rugby league circles, Coby Black has been touted as the next halfback of the Brisbane Broncos once Adam Reynolds decides to hang up the boots.
An U19s QLD representative, Black was discovered by the Broncos at the age of 12 and has had multiple advisors who have helped him develop and become a better player, including Issac Luke, Darren Nicholls, Nathan Cleary and Sean O’Sullivan.
While he has yet to make his NRL first-grade debut, the halfback has been competing in the QLD Cup for the Souths Logan Magpies and found himself in the headlines earlier this year when he scored 46 points in a single match in the Mal Meninga Cup.
Initially contracted on a development contract until the end of this season, Coby Black will remain at the Brisbane Broncos until the end of the 2026 NRL season, inking a new two-year contract with the club.
Zero Tackle is currently awaiting comment on whether the new contract will see him join the club’s Top 30 roster. This publication will provide an update when this is confirmed.
Despite inking a new deal, Black remains on the sidelines at the moment, having sustained a broken thumb and undergoing surgery.
