BRISBANE recruit Jack Bird admits he’s gained a few kilos over off-season but has assured fans his weight is not an issue.

Channel Nine aired footage of a shirtless Bird on Wednesday night in a sight that may have Broncos fans a little concerned over their star signing’s fitness.

He was brought north on a lucrative deal and is the club’s big signing for 2018.

He has never been super ripped, but has still managed to be picked for NSW and is one of the game’s genuine stars.

He says he could afford to slim down a little, but he’s not overly concerned about his current physique.

“I don’t think there’s anything to be worried about with my weight,” Bird told Channel Nine.

“I’m happy with my weight. I might have a bit of a gut on me, but that’s how we all are hey.”

Bird has barely been able to train with his new club since undergoing shoulder surgery on his arrival at Red Hill.

He still hasn’t began full contact work, and is due to miss the start of the NRL season.

At this stage the club has him pencilled in for a round four debut.

Bird also confirmed to Channel Nine he has agreed to play centre for the Broncos, the same position he occupied at Cronulla.

That’s despite suggestions he would play at lock or in the halves for his new club.
