NRL legend Cameron Smith<\/a> has officially been confirmed as a member of the Brisbane Broncos<\/a> coaching staff for the upcoming season.<\/p>\n

The all-time leader for games played, Smith was synonymous with the Melbourne Storm<\/a> throughout his career that spanned 18 years and 433 matches.<\/p>\n

Smith retired after the club’s 2020 premiership win and has been part of Queensland’s State of Origin<\/a> coaching staff in recent series alongside Billy Slater<\/a>.<\/p>\n

However, for the most part, Smith has been away from club land – until now.<\/p>\n

Reports began to surface in November that the 42-year-old would be at Red Hill in a coaching capacity and Brisbane have now confirmed the news, sharing photos of Smith at training via social media on Sunday morning.<\/p>\n

“He spent some time with us during our camp in Toowoomba and I could see the immediate impact he had on the players,” head coach Michael Maguire told News Corp.<\/p>\n

“It’s great to have him around to help our leadership group and our younger players.”<\/p>\n

The exact role Smith will play with the Broncos is unclear, however he did spend time with the club during a recent training camp in Toowoomba and it’s expected that he will be working with the young, emerging talent at the club.<\/p>\n

Smith would be tied with the likes of Reece Walsh and Ezra Mam, who spearheaded Brisbane’s first title win in nearly two decades last October.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"NRL legend Cameron Smith has officially been confirmed as a member of the Brisbane Broncos coaching staff for…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":451048,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[568],"tags":[64,63,761,762,158,85],"class_list":["post-451047","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nrl","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-national-rugby-league","tag-nationalrugbyleague","tag-nrl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/451047","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=451047"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/451047\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/451048"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=451047"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=451047"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=451047"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
