Anthony Milford signs with Brisbane Broncos feeder club Souths Logan Magpies

Former Broncos and Dolphins playmaker Anthony Milford has made a last-ditch effort to revive his NRL career, signing with one of Brisbane’s feeder clubs.

Anthony Milford has rejected rumoured Super League offers to link with one of Brisbane’s feeder club.

Milford, 30, was released by the Dolphins this year, leaving his NRL career on life support.

But Milford has chosen to remain in Queensland, signing with his junior club, Souths Logan Magpies.

Further blocking what would be a miracle return to the Broncos is the NRL club’s logjam of playmakers, including Adam Reynolds, Ben Hunt, Ezra Mam, Jock Madden, Josh Rodgers, and rising star Coby Black who joins Brisbane’s top-30 squad in 2025.

“It’s a full circle moment for me,” Milford said in a club statement.

“Right now I believe this decision feels right for my little family and I.

“I’m grateful for Wayne (Bennett) and the Dolphins for the past two years and I wish Woolfy (coach Kristian Woolf) and the boys nothing but the best for season 25.

“I’m excited to play under K and I can’t wait to get to work with the team.”

Magpies coach and Broncos legend, Karmichael Hunt, believes Milford’s move to Souths Logan mirrors his own career.

“We’re very lucky to have someone of Anthony’s calibre sign with us here at the Magpies,” he said.

“Having him in and amongst some of our younger players will be invaluable to my squad.

“His journey is not too dissimilar from mine and how I transitioned my career in 2021, I’m looking forward to mentoring him over the next couple of years.”

Milford played 2019 NRL games with the Raiders, Broncos, Knights and Dolphins.
