Source: www.broncos.com.auJustin Hodges has secured his future with the Ergon Energy Broncos by signing a four-year contract with the club.
After a long round of negotiations with chief executive Bruno Cullen, the 25-year-old has been locked in as a Bronco until the end of 2011.
Cullen said the signing of the high-class centre was proof Hodges felt his home was in Brisbane.
Spotted by the club as a teenager, Hodges made his NRL debut in 2000 before spending three years with the Sydney Roosters.
He returned to Queensland in 2005 and was a big part of the 2006 premiership.
"We think we have got very good value out of Justin in the past couple of years and feel we are repaying some of that to him now," said Cullen.
"It is wonderful news that the current Australian Test centre wanted to stay with the Broncos, and has subsequently agreed to for such a significant length of time.
"We are certain we are going to see the best of Justin Hodges on the field over the next four years."Hodges said he had always been keen to make sure his playing future was with the Brisbane club.
"I didn't really want to go anywhere else," he said.
"I have really enjoyed my football since coming back to Brisbane under the coaching of Wayne Bennett.
"I think it has had a lot to do with reaching goals like winning last year's grand final and playing for Australia.
"I am looking forward to what the next few seasons with the Broncos will bring."Hodges was today named at centre for the Broncos' crunch match against the Bulldogs at Suncorp Stadium on Friday night.

Johnathan Thurston, Justin Hodges and Andrew Ryan have been recalled to the Australian Test side following their shock loss against Great Britain two weeks ago whilst Anthony Tupou has been retained in the side.
Thurston, Hodges and Ryan were all omitted for the last clash, which Australia lost 23-12 and coach Ricky Stuart has rushed the trio back into the starting side in place of Ben Hornby, Jamie Lyon and the suspended Willie Mason.
Brent Tate has been retained on the wing with Matt King still struggling with injury, Brent Kite and Mark O'Meley swap places in the squad, as do Cameron Smith and Shaun Berrigan. Stuart has named Berrigan who was requesting the weekend off to be best man at his brothers wedding. Barry Berrigan, the former Canterbury and Brisbane utility is getting married this weekend and with Shaun selected in the Australian side, it's highly unlikely that Stuart or the ARL will allow him the time off to attend to a major family event.
Antonio Kaufusi will make his Test debut as he takes the place of Sam Thaiday who was depserately unlucky to be dropped whilst Tupou continues to enjoy a free ride in the side despite his performances not reaching to the levels of International standard.
Great Britain who have been rocked by the Sean Long scandal will be desperate for victory on Saturday night at Brisbane's Suncorp Stadium as they have to win or draw at all costs to qualify for the Tri Nations Final. The Lions and New Zealand are locked on two points each with the Kiwis enjoying a better for and against record.
The Australian side to face Great Britain is as follows:
1. Karmichael Hunt
2. Brent Tate
3. Mark Gasnier
4. Justin Hodges
5. Greg Inglis
6. Darren Lockyer (c)
7. Johnathan Thurston
