The Brisbane Broncos<\/a> have had a major addition to their coaching ranks, with Cameron Smith<\/a> joining the club.<\/p>\n Smith, who is the NRL’s all-time games record holder with 433 across an 18-year career, is believed to be working with the club’s leadership group, and mentoring youngsters.<\/p>\n Brisbane have not made official comments regarding his status, and inquiries have been left with the club, however, head coach Michael Maguire<\/a> told News Corp that the former Melbourne Storm<\/a>, Queensland Maroons<\/a> and Australian Kangaroos captain and dummy half had made an immediate positive impact on the club.<\/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,” Maguire told the publication.<\/p>\n “It’s great to have him around to help our leadership group and our younger players.”<\/p>\n Smith has various media commitments, but has been tipped as a likely head coach in the future.<\/p>\n He was tied as one of the contenders for the Australian role ahead of the 2025 Ashes series in the United Kingdom against England<\/a>, although that eventually went to Kevin Walters<\/a>.<\/p>\n Smith is expected to continue working with Brisbane in the coming weeks and months, having attended a training camp in Toowoomba recently.<\/p>\n Brisbane, which has a relatively young squad, are the NRL’s defending premiers.<\/p>\n
