Former Brisbane Broncos halfback Ben Hunt will return to Red Hill to end his career after agreeing to a two-year deal on Tuesday.

The 34-year-old was recently released from the remainder of his deal at the St George Illawarra Dragons.

“We’re thrilled to be bringing Ben and his family home – where he belongs,” Broncos CEO Dave Donaghy said.

“Players of his calibre don’t stay available for long, and it was important to us for Ben to know he was very much wanted here, but we also understand that this was a big decision for Ben and his family.

“I’m pleased we’ve been able to work with Ben and his management to make this happen as quickly as we could.

“We look forward to welcoming Ben, Bridget and the boys back to Brisbane very soon.”
