EXPERIENCED forward Shaun Fensom will begin a one-year contract with the NRMA Insurance Broncos today.

The Broncos have signed the former Canberra Raiders and North Queensland Cowboys' lock to add depth to the club's forward stocks.

Fensom has played 174 NRL matches, including 139 over eight seasons with the Raiders, and 35 in the past two years with the Cowboys.

Throughout his career he has been lauded for his high work rate, particularly in defence.

The 30-year-old, who played in the 2017 NRL Grand Final for the Cowboys, will train with the Broncos' NRL squad for the first time when the team returns to the field this morning in Brisbane.
