The prop was set to sign a three-year $2.7 million deal with Newcastle until suffering an ACL injury at the start of the season, sidelining him for the year.

He turns 32 in July and has played 22 games for Queensland and Australia respectively.

Scott joined the Cowboys as an 18-year-old in 2004 and has played his entire career for the North Queensland club.

He was integral to the Cowboys’ maiden 2015 premiership.  

“I’m truly thrilled to be extending my time at this great club for a further two seasons,” Scott said.

“I’ve had so many great experiences here, taken the field with some wonderful players and made lifelong friends.

“To be able to continue on this journey with the Cowboys means the world to me and I look forward to getting through my rehab and giving the Cowboys my all for the next couple of seasons.”
