The Brisbane Broncos have added outside backs Wilson De Courcey and Richard Penisini on a Top 30 and Development contract respectively.
De Courcey joins the Broncos on a two-year deal from the Newcastle Knights where he made his NRL debut in Round 5 of the 2026 season before making his second appearance the following week.
The 21-year-old was a standout performer in the New South Wales Cup this season with 18 tries in 20 games, and an average of more than 130 run metres per game.
Executive General Manager of Football Troy Thomson said the Club was looking forward to seeing the growth of the Australian Schoolboys representative within the Broncos system.
“Wilson is a strong centre who has worked his way through the NSW Cup over the past two seasons,” Thomson said.
“He has shown consistency and has continued to develop his game.
“Wilson gives us another quality option in the outside backs and will provide strong competition within the squad.”
Meanwhile, Penisini will join the Broncos from the Parramatta Eels on a development contract for 2027.’
The 21-year-old outside back has spent the past three seasons playing NSW Cup, with both his 2024 and 2026 campaigns interrupted with a knee injury.
Thomson said the Club was excited to have Penisini on board.
“Richie is another talented young outside back who has gained valuable experience playing NSW Cup,” Thomson said.
“He has shown a lot of potential, has good physical attributes and a strong work ethic.
“He is now back to full fitness and we’re looking forward to seeing what he can produce through the pre-season and into 2027.”
