Emerging Broncos fullback Reece Walsh has signed a three-year deal with the New Zealand Warriors from 2022.

Walsh has represented both the Queensland State of Origin Under 18s and Australian Schoolboys in 2019.

He impressed in the Broncos' NRL trial against Wynnum Manly last month.

Brisbane confirmed the development player's departure in a statement on Thursday afternoon.

โ€œReece is a talented young player with much potential and we are disappointed to lose him," Broncos interim CEO Neil Monaghan told the club website.

โ€œHe is yet to play senior football but we were keen to have him stay - however the offer from the Warriors was too good to refuse for a player of his experience.

โ€œWe wish Reece all the best and look forward to him finishing out this year with us.โ€

The Warriors were thrilled to acquire the The Tweed Seagulls star's signature.

โ€œThis is a fantastic signing for our club and Vodafone Warriors fans have every reason to be excited about the progress weโ€™re making with recruitment in the short, mid and long term,โ€ Warriors CEO Cameron George told the club website.

โ€œReece is a wonderful, polite young man who impressed us immensely when we met him.

โ€œHe comes to the Vodafone Warriors at the perfect time following us re-signing Tohu (Harris). We now have an exciting future with experience and exciting young players developed from within and others that have been handpicked to join us. Itโ€™s a great statement for our club.โ€

  1. Good luck to the Warriors, it’s nice to see a young player joining them from an NRL club instead of having so many of their own young players leave to join other NRL clubs.
