Broncos Sign Karapani & Anderson

The Broncos have secured a further two players for the 2026 season and beyond, having extended the contract of winger, Josiah Karapani, and signed Melbourne Storm player Grant Anderson.

Karapani has signed a two-year extension until the end of the 2027 season.

The 23-year-old made his NRL debut for the Broncos last season and has had strong performances in 2025, where he scored four tries in just two games.

Karapani said he feels “blessed” to be able to continue his development in Brisbane.

“My family say there’s a massive difference since they last saw me, just my professionalism, my preparation and everything, and I know that’s been from the help of the staff and coaches,” Karapani said.

“I love the connection, the culture of the Club, the boys and how close we got so quickly.

“It’s also the fans, it’s a good atmosphere and energy when we’re at Suncorp Stadium.

I’m slowly finding my feet with this team… I want to be more competitive on the field and aim for that one goal which is the premiership. Josiah Karapani Broncos Winger

Meanwhile, the Club will welcome Anderson on a two-year deal from the 2026 season.

Anderson has played 36-games for the Melbourne Storm since his debut in 2022, including the first 17-rounds of the 2025 season.

The outside back - who has played on the wing and centre this season - has scored 10 tries in 12 games, and averages 142 run-metres.

Broncos General Manager of Football Troy Thomson said the Club is excited by the two new deals.

“Josiah has grown a lot as a footballer and he will only continue to develop as a player and a person over the coming seasons,” Thomson said.

"Grant is a great footballer with a proven ability at NRL level, and we’re confident he’ll be a valuable addition to the Broncos both on and off the field.

"He’s been in excellent form and continues to show that he’s not only dependable, but also highly versatile across the backline.”
