Off-contract Broncos veteran Alex Glenn is hoping to sign a two-year extension with the club.

The 30-year old has his sights set on the 300-game mark over the next couple of seasons, where he would become just the fourth Bronco to accomplish such a feat.

Glenn has fielded interest from a number of clubs but sees his future at Red Hill.

"I would love a two-year deal here at the Broncos. I don’t want to be getting a one-year deal and be in the same boat next year and trying to keep my career going again," Glenn told NRL.com.

"Ideally I want to retire as a one-club man but at the end of the day I know it is a short career and I have got to take care of my family first. If there are contracts elsewhere out there with bigger money and longer years then I would be silly not to take it for my family, rather than just try and reach a milestone and be a one-club man.

"That milestone is not going to put a roof over my head. I have two kids and I don’t see myself and my fiancée stopping. We want another kid as well. You’ve got to put food on the table and a roof over their head so I have got to put my family’s interests first."

The second rower revealed that he recently met with coach Anthony Seibold, who was keen to keep him at the club.

"Seibs has really been battling hard to keep me and said that he wanted me to know that he is really vouching hard to keep me at this club," Glenn said.

"He’s had to make some tough decisions in order to do that, with the likes of letting players go this season. He has put in a really good word to Whitey and vouched for the importance I have for this team and the values I bring to this club. Hearing that from your new head coach is a humbling experience to be honest. I am honoured that he wants to keep me."

Glenn added that it would be a huge privilege to join Darren Lockyer, Corey Parker and Sam Thaiday as the only three players to reach the 300-game mark at Brisbane.

"It would be massive to get to 300 games for the Broncos. There are only three players that have done that at this club and they are Darren Lockyer, Corey Parker and Sam Thaiday," Glenn said.

"You look at what kind of players they are on and off the field and they are very well respected in the game. They have done a lot for the game and this club so it would be an absolute honour to reach that milestone and be up there with those fellas."
