The Brisbane Broncos have added outside backs Wilson De Courcey and Richard Penisini on a Top 30 and Development contract respectively.<\/p>\n

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.\u00a0<\/p>\n

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.\u00a0<\/p>\n

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.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWilson is a strong centre who has worked his way through the NSW Cup over the past two seasons,\u201d Thomson said.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe has shown consistency and has continued to develop his game.<\/p>\n

“Wilson gives us another quality option in the outside backs and will provide strong competition within the squad.”<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Penisini will join the Broncos from the Parramatta Eels on a development contract for 2027.’<\/p>\n

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.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Thomson said the Club was excited to have Penisini on board.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cRichie is another talented young outside back who has gained valuable experience playing NSW Cup,\u201d Thomson said.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe has shown a lot of potential, has good physical attributes and a strong work ethic.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cHe is now back to full fitness and we\u2019re looking forward to seeing what he can produce through the pre-season and into 2027.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Brisbane Broncos have added outside backs Wilson De Courcey and Richard Penisini on a Top 30 and…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":933604,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[568],"tags":[64,63,761,762,158,85],"class_list":["post-933603","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\/933603","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=933603"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/933603\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/933604"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=933603"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=933603"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=933603"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
