There is increased speculation that Melbourne Storm premiership player Brandon Smith will be at a new club in 2022.

Out of contract at the end of next season, Smith played an integral role in the Stormโ€™s 2020 triumph this year, is free to speak to other clubs.

According to The Daily Telegraphโ€™s Matt Logue, Smith will most likely head to Queensland, with the Brisbane Broncos or Gold Coast Titans heavily favoured.

โ€œYou canโ€™t dismiss Brandon Smithโ€™s skill,โ€ he said on 1170 SEN Mornings on Friday.

โ€œHeโ€™s a terrier, heโ€™s a character off the field as well, and I think that the Broncosโ€ฆ the Gold Coast Titans are interested.

โ€œI think Brandon Smith has one more season at the Storm... He wonโ€™t go without a club.โ€

The New Zealand International had gathered strong interest from Broncos coach Kevin Walters yesterday.

โ€œHe has been a great player at the Storm and he is a very young player also, so there will be some interest,โ€ he told media.

โ€œI love his attitude and the way he goes about his work on the field โ€“ he would fit nicely in a Broncos jersey.

โ€œHis character is very strong and heโ€™s a very laid back style of person, but what he does on the field he is very exciting.โ€
