BEING grateful - it is something that Joe Ofahengaue has been reminded about plenty of times over the past 12 months.

So it was fitting that he chose a visit to the Endeavour Foundation to talk about the new three-year contract he has signed with the Broncos, that will keep him at the club until the end of 2022.

Ofahengaue, Patrick Carrigan, Jamayne Isaako and Herbie Farnworth spent some time with the Endeavour Foundation employees this week.

The Endeavour Foundation is dedicated to helping people with a disability to live fulfilling lives, working together to turn possibilities into reality for each individual.

Ofahengaue endured a tough time over the past 12 months as he supported his long-term partner Sofi Leota through a battle with breast cancer.

That treatment has been successful, and now the pair can add the financial stability needed to plan the next stage of their lives.

"I always wanted to stay at the Broncos and I am so happy I now have the next three years to settle down with Sofi and play some consistent footy," said Ofahengaue.

"It has just made everything clear for us.

"Just moving forward now we can just settle down and buy a house out at Ipswich and plan for the future.

"I am just glad I got to sign a three-year deal with the club.

"I have always been grateful to the club and everything it has done for us, especially with Sofi when we went through a cancer battle last year.

"I also love the boys in the club I play with week in and week out, and staying a part of this team was a big goal for me, to keep working hard.”

Ofahengaue and his teammates signed autographs and had hundreds of photos with the Endeavour Foundation staff.

He said he had always enjoyed these types of visits

“It does (make you grateful) - especially as this is back in Wacol and just around the corner from where I grew up,” he said

“Just to put some smiles on some of the clients' faces, even for the hour we were here.

“It makes you feel good and makes you remember how lucky you are to have a job playing football.

“It makes you feel humble when you meet the clients that are working here at the Endeavour Foundation.”
