Brisbane Broncos board member Darren Lockyer has confirmed that Brodie Croft will be joining the Queensland club on a three-year deal.

Speaking to Nine News Queensland's Ben Dobbin, Lockyer announced that Croft would be at Red Hill from 2020.

"It's been talked about for a little while now. It's signed, sealed and delivered - Brodie is coming for three years and I think he's going to be a great addition to the squad," the Queensland rugby league legend said.

It means that Anthony Milford may be in for a shift back to five-eighth after spending part of last season playing fullback.

"I think whether five-eight or fullback with Milf, having someone like Brodie who can organise, which just comes natural to him, it allows someone like Milf to free him up and just go and play footy, which is what he does best," Lockyer said.

"Again, I think he's a great addition to the squad because he's the sort of player we need. "

Lockyer was coy on how the Broncos' new signing might affect young up-and-comer Tom Dearden though.

"We've got big things for Tom Dearden," he said.

"He's 18, he's still learning. He'll be part of the mix there as well and he's another option.

"But he's a good kid with a great attitude, so he'll be around the place."
