Mitchell Dodds has signed a one-year deal with the Broncos after spending the 2016 season in the English Super League.

The 27-year-old defensive tyro, who played 75 games for the Broncos before heading to England after the 2015 NRL grand final, got his first look at the site that will host the Broncos’ new training facility today.

Dodds said he was excited to get back on the training paddock with his old mates when the pre-season begins next month.

"I am very happy to be home, back in the sun, out of the ran and with the family again," he said.
