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.
โIโm really pleased to be able to continue on with this great club,โ Bolton said.
โIโve been fortunate to have played my whole career in my home region, and Iโve loved sharing in the success weโve had with my teammates and our members and fans.
โTo 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.
โScott typifies what the Cowboys are about,โ said General Manager โ Football Peter Parr.
โAside from being a very good footballer, he is a true team man and is someone our younger forwards turn to for advice and guidance.
โHe 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, Boltonโs fellow prop Matt Scott also signed a two-year extension, while the clubโs forward stocks have been further shored up with Jason Taumalolo, John Asiata and Gavin Cooper all extending their time.
