McGuire has signed until the end of the 2021 season, an agreement that will take him to the age of 31 years old.

 “I am very privileged to be a part of this club for another four years,” he told Channel Nine.

“It was a no brainer for me – to stay part of this club and hopefully be a one player club for the rest of my life was an offer I couldn’t refuse.

“My goal as a 14-year-old was to play NRL for the Brisbane Broncos.

“I’ve had the opportunity to do that and I think I will look back and say ‘how did it happen and why did they pick me?’

“Obviously a lot of luck comes into it and opportunity, but I am just so excited about the next four years.”

McGuire said his family had also played a huge part in staying in Brisbane.

“I have two young kids now with my wife and it’s not just me - we have to think about their future now,” he said.

McGuire will play lock against the Norths Queensland Cowboys in tomorrow night’s blockbuster against the Cowboys at Suncorp Stadium.
