HE is one of the cleanest hitters to ever pull on a Broncos jersey and now he has come home.

Mitchell Dodds today signed a one-year deal with the Broncos after spending the 2016 Season in the English Super League for the Warrington Wolves.

And it is clearly not just the weather that is making the 107kg front rower so pleased to be home.

The 27-year-old defensive tyro, who played 76 games for the Broncos since 2010 before heading to England after the 2015 NRL Grand Final, also got his first look at the construction site across the road in Red Hill that will host the Broncos’ new Training, Administration and Community Facility.

Dodds said he was excited to get back on the training paddock with his old mates when the pre-season begins next month.

"I am very happy to be home, back in the sun, out of the rain and with the family again," he said.
