Emerging prop Matt Lodge has credited Brisbane Broncos members and supporters as a major factor in re-signing with the club for another two years.

The 23-y-o has committed to at least the end of 2020 after a stellar comeback season in which he finished runner-up in the Paul Morgan Medal for Broncos' Player of the Year, just one vote behind winner Anthony Milford.

Lodge also won the Best Forward award after playing 25 games in 2018 and averaging 130 metres run per game, as well as 23 tackles and 11 hit-ups, plus 55 tackle breaks across the season.

Lodge made a point of thanking the #Bronxnation for standing by him after a tough start to the season.

Thank you (members and fans) for getting behind me – it was a massive part of why I made the decision to stay in Brisbane Matt Lodge Broncos.com.au

"We think we owe something to them and we're working hard to bring back what everyone wants.

"It's good to have some stability, I've made the decision to stay up in Brisbane and I'm happy with that decision and looking to put in some work with the group that we've got coming through to achieve what we all want.

"I'll always respect Wayne (Bennett) for giving me the chance to come back... but we're moving on now and we've got a new coach in Seibs (Anthony Seibold), training has changed and we've all on board with that and we're excited at what the future holds."

Lodge, who has a big focus on working in the Broncos' community programs, said becoming a father last year to son Coby with partner Jess had given him added responsibility and perspective.

"It's awesome – he just turned one a few weeks ago and he's running amok but I love it," said Lodge.

Brisbane Broncos CEO Paul White said: "Matt continues to work on every aspect of his life both on and off the field, and he knows he has our full backing as he travels along that road.

"He has taken some big strides this year through his dedication and hard work. We applaud what he has achieved and we welcome what is to come in the years ahead."
