DONE DEAL: Brisbane Broncos Fullback Reece Walsh Signs 3-Year Mega Deal with Sydney Roosters Worth $97.5 Million
The blockbuster deal was announced early on Tuesday morning, with Walsh set to join the Roosters from the 2025 season, ending years of speculation surrounding his future.
Roosters Land the Biggest Signing in NRL History
The Roostersโ board reportedly approved the massive contract after a week of intense negotiations, with the final figure topping all previous NRL deals and establishing Walsh as the highest-paid player in the league.
Roosters CEO Justin Smith said the club had been working on the deal for months.
โReece is a generational talent. Weโve been trying to build a team capable of dominating the competition, and signing him is a massive step towards that goal. Weโre thrilled to welcome him to the Roosters family.โ
Walsh: โIโm Ready for the Big Stageโ
Walsh, 23, has become one of the most electrifying players in the NRL since his debut. Known for his blistering speed, exceptional footwork, and unmatched playmaking ability, he has been a constant threat to opposing teams.
In a statement released on social media, Walsh expressed his excitement about the move:
โIโve loved my time at Brisbane, but this is a huge opportunity for me. The Roosters are a great club with a strong culture, and Iโm ready to take on the challenge. I canโt wait to get started.โ
Broncos Left Reeling
The Broncos have been left reeling by the news, with many fans expressing shock and disappointment. Walsh has been a key player for Brisbane since joining the club, and his departure will leave a major hole in the Broncosโ backline.
Broncos head coach Kevin Walters responded calmly but emotionally:
โReece has been an incredible part of our team. Weโre proud of what heโs achieved here, and we wish him all the best. Now we must regroup and move forward.โ
Roostersโ Title Hopes Skyrocket
With Walsh joining forces with Roosters stars like James Tedesco and Luke Keary, Sydneyโs squad now looks more lethal than ever. Analysts predict the Roosters will become instant title favorites, with their attack expected to be one of the most devastating in recent NRL history.
What This Means for the NRL
This deal is set to redefine the NRLโs salary structure and player market. At $97.5 million over three years, Walshโs contract will become the new benchmark for elite talent in the league โ a figure that could trigger a wave of renegotiations across the competition.
