North Queensland Toyota Cowboys prop Scott Bolton will join front-row teammate Matt Scott as a career Cowboy after agreeing to a two-year contract extension.

The 30-year-old Innisfail product has re-signed until the end of the 2019 season as his decade-plus stint at the club continues.

โ€œIโ€™m really pleased to be able to continue on with this great club,โ€ Bolton said.

โ€œIโ€™ve been fortunate to have played my whole career in my home region, and Iโ€™ve loved sharing in the success weโ€™ve had with my teammates and our members and fans.

โ€œTo be able to do what you love while sharing it with family and friends week-in, week-out is truly special.โ€

Currently, in his 11th season at the club, Bolton has played 190 National Rugby League games after debuting as a 19-year-old in 2007.

Since then, he has been a mainstay of the Cowboys forward pack, playing as a back-rower early in his career before partnering with Matt Scott in the front row.

This year has seen the quietly-spoken North Queenslander take more of an on-field leadership role as Matt Scott overcomes a knee injury.

โ€œScott typifies what the Cowboys are about,โ€ said General Manager โ€“ Football Peter Parr.

โ€œAside from being a very good footballer, he is a true team man and is someone our younger forwards turn to for advice and guidance.

โ€œHe was huge for us in our premiership year in 2015 and is this season playing what I believe is some of his best football.โ€

Earlier this year, Boltonโ€™s fellow prop Matt Scott also signed a two-year extension, while the clubโ€™s forward stocks have been further shored up with Jason Taumalolo, John Asiata and Gavin Cooper all extending their time.
