Broncos playmaker Jock Madden has been granted a release from his contract and will join the Wests Tigers on a new two‑year deal beginning in 2026
. After three seasons with Brisbane, Madden is set to return to the Tigers, the club where he made his NRL debut
Wests Tigers coach Benji Marshall praised Madden’s intelligence, kicking game, work ethic, and locker-room leadership, calling him “a valuable addition to our squad on and off the field”
. Madden had previously competed with teammate Coby Black and veteran Adam Reynolds for the No. 7 jersey at the Broncos, viewing himself as the natural successor to Reynolds upon his eventual retirement
Madden’s move is officially confirmed for the 2026 and 2027 seasons, leaving Brisbane with a vacancy at the key playmaking role heading into 2025 and beyond
Reason: Seeking consistent No. 7 role; Tigers value his skills and leadership
Let me know if you’d like background on his career stats or implications for Broncos’ lineup in 2025.
