'I'm a has-been': Injury ends Broncos captain Adam Reynolds's career

Brisbane Broncos captain Adam Reynolds has announced the end of his NRL career due to injury. The 36-year-old could not overcome a calf injury to play in Thursday's final home game against the Melbourne Storm. Reynolds had hoped to play one last home game and then retire, but his fitness test failed. The Broncos have two games remaining in the season, but Reynolds will not be participating.

He had previously stated that he knew this day was coming and had planned to say goodbye at some stage. Reynolds has endured multiple lower-body injuries throughout his career and recently retired from the game after playing his last match in 2026. He leaves the league as a two-time premiership winner and a State of Origin player.
