Roosters front-rower Fletcher Baker has officially signed with the Broncos for 2024 and beyond.
The 23-year-old has been used sporadic by the Tricolours since making his debut two years ago, featuring on 37 occasions in both the starting and bench roles.
Baker has averaged 63 run metres and 18 tackles per game this year for the Roosters, and will add quality depth to the high-flying Broncos.
The Muswellbrook product will move to Red Hill on a two-year agreement and head coach Kevin Walters believes it will only improve the competition for spots in the forward pack.

“Fletcher will be a welcome addition to our squad,” Walters said.
“He is a big frame with plenty of talent and has had a few seasons at NRL level so he knows what it takes to succeed.
“We’ve got some really good young middle forwards coming through here at the Broncos and he will add to the strength we have in that position.”
