BREAKING NEWS: As per Skysports, Adam Reynolds names his 2026 next NRL team destination amids his Brisbane Broncos Exit confirmation
Brisbane Broncos captain Adam Reynolds has publicly acknowledged receiving interest from the Wests Tigers regarding a potential deal starting in 2026, further intensifying speculation about his long-term future in the NRL.
The 34-year-old veteran halfback, one of the league’s most accomplished playmakers and the second-highest point scorer in NRL history, is currently off-contract at the end of the 2025 season. Talks are ongoing with the Broncos over a possible contract extension, but no formal agreement has been reached—leaving the door ajar for rival clubs to circle.
Speaking candidly on Triple M’s The Rush Hour with Ben Dobbin and Elliott Lovejoy, Reynolds confirmed outside interest. “Yeah, there’s been interest,” he said. “There’s obviously talk about. I’m trying to secure my future here at the Broncos. I’m sure everyone’s read about it and is probably sick of hearing about it, to be honest. For me, it’s about letting my manager take care of all those things behind the scenes.”
Despite the speculation, Reynolds reiterated his loyalty to the Broncos and his desire to remain in Brisbane, both for professional and personal reasons. “Brisbane is home, no matter what,” he added. “Our family’s settled here. The kids are thriving, my wife is happy, and that’s what really matters. When your family is happy and settled, you’ve got to consider that in any decision.”
Reynolds made the move to the Broncos in 2022 following a controversial split with the South Sydney Rabbitohs, who offered the premiership-winning halfback only a one-year deal despite his long service. Since joining Brisbane, he has become an influential figure in the squad, even guiding the team to the 2023 NRL Grand Final. Although the Broncos fell just short against the Penrith Panthers in a heartbreaking finish, Reynolds’ leadership was widely praised.
Now in the twilight years of his career, Reynolds is focused on staying at Red Hill and hopes to finish his playing days as a Bronco. However, the club’s salary cap constraints are proving to be a significant hurdle. Key players such as Selwyn Cobbo remain unsigned beyond 2025, and superstar front-rower Payne Haas will hit the market at the end of the 2026 season. These high-profile contract priorities are slowing down negotiations across the board.
“We’ve got to be realistic about the situation,” Reynolds said. “It’s about finding a way to keep as many of our top players as possible while staying within the cap, and that’s not an easy task. I don’t want to be the reason someone else misses out. It’s a slow, calculated process. You have to look at all the options, weigh them up, and make a decision you’re happy with—not just for yourself, but for the club as a whole.”
Amidst this, the Wests Tigers’ interest in Reynolds could grow stronger, especially with reports suggesting that young playmaker Lachlan Galvin may be heading for the exit. If Galvin is released, it would create a vacancy in the halves, making Reynolds a potentially valuable short-term addition to help mentor younger players and bring much-needed experience.
While no official offer has yet been tabled by the Tigers, the possibility of Reynolds donning a different jersey in 2026 can’t be ruled out. Though he remains committed to Brisbane, Reynolds acknowledged the unpredictability that comes with being a seasoned professional nearing the end of his career.
“I’m not ruling anything out at this stage,” he said. “A one-year deal somewhere else? Maybe. A move to the Super League? That’s also a possibility. I just want to keep playing the game I love and do what’s best for my family.”
As negotiations continue behind closed doors, Reynolds’ future remains one of the more intriguing storylines in the NRL landscape. Broncos fans will be hoping the club can retain the veteran leader, but the reality of roster balancing and the lure of rival interest mean the coming months could prove decisive.
