Brisbane have identified Ezra Mam as their long-term five-eighth, tying the young gun to a new five-year contract as they look to bounce back from NRL grand final heartbreak

Mam had been linked with a move to local rivals the Dolphins but has now signed an extension that keeps him at the Broncos through until 2029 - the longest contract of any active Brisbane player.

Mam, who turned 21 last week, scored three tries in the Grand Final loss to Penrith.

His halves partner and captain Adam Reynolds, who turns 34 this July, remains off contract at season's end.
