The drawn-out tug of war between the Canberra Raiders and the Brisbane Broncos for Anthony Milford is set to come to an end.

The 19-year-old Samoa and Queensland under-20s representative has reportedly been told he needs to decide by next week so both clubs can begin planning.

Milford has signed a two-year deal with the Broncos for 2015 and 2016, but has until round 13 to change his mind because the NRL doesn't register contracts for the following season before then.

Former Maroons five-eighth Ben Ikin said on Fox Sports show NRL 360 on Wednesday night that Milford's camp had been told they needed to give an answer to the respective clubs by the end of next week.
