Broncos confirm signing of Cowboys forward as playmaker inks extension Transfer Centre.
The Brisbane Broncos have confirmed the signing of forward Jack Gosiewski after his release from the North Queensland Cowboys.
Backrower Jack Gosiewski has joined the Brisbane Broncos through to the end of the 2025 season.
The 29-year-old from Murwillumbah comes to the Broncos with 68 NRL appearances and 14 tries under his belt having made his debut
in 2016 for the Rabbitohs before joining Manly in 2018 for four seasons.
He played a major role in the Sea Eagles’ run to the second week of finals in 2019 before moving onto the Dragons
and then the Cowboys where he has played 12 NRL games since the start of the 2023 season.
Gosiewski’s signing follows a host of his new teammates recommiting to the Broncos including Billy Walters,
Ezra Mam, Payne Haas, Pat Carrigan, Jordan Riki, Brendan Piakura, Selwyn Cobbo,
Kobe Hetherington, Jesse Arthars, Tyson Smoothy, Corey Jensen, Deine Mariner, Xavier Willison, Tristan Sailor and Blake Mozer.
Broncos Coach Kev Walters said: “Jack brings a good work ethic and an ability to play his role,
so he will fit right in here with what we are building together at the Broncos.
“He will give us some extra depth in the forwards and if he puts the work in then I’m sure he will get some opportunities as we move into the season.”
Broncos sign veteran forward Fensom.
The Brisbane Broncos have added experience and depth to their forward pack by signing 30-year-old forward Shaun Fensom on a one-year deal.
Fensom, who was at the North Queensland Cowboys for the past two seasons, joined the Broncos squad for a field session at the club’s Red Hill base on Monday morning.
Fensom has played 139 of his 174 NRL games with the Canberra Raiders in what has been a 10-year first grade career and will give the Broncos options in
the back-row and middle forward positions where they have a plethora of players in the early stages of their careers.
With the exits of Korbin Sims, Josh McGuire and the retired Sam Thaiday in the off-season, the Broncos lost more than 600 games of NRL experience.
Fensom is highly valued for his defensive clout and his work rate, two areas the Broncos will feel the void left by Test lock McGuire the most.
Broncos hooker Andrew McCullough said Fensom was a player who arrived with a reputation for being the kind of footballer his teammates wanted alongside them.
“I think it is a good signing. He has been at a couple of clubs and you can see
why clubs have wanted him there – he works hard, he competes hard and that is what we need in this team,” McCullough said.
“He has come here for a particular reason and he is a bit older as well. We have got a lot of younger guys here so it is nice to have that older guy who has
played plenty of footy, who has experience and you know they will get the job done when needed
“I am not sure when that will be. We will work that out in eight weeks time but overall you know that Shaun won’t let you down.”
