Tom Dearden is the latest young gun to walk out on the Broncos with the Brisbane halfback agreeing to terms on a $1.1 million deal with Queensland rivals the Cowboys.
The Courier-Mail can reveal Dearden will quit the Broncos at season's end as North Queensland pull off a one-two recruitment punch following the signing of Sharks playmaker Chad Townsend last week.
The 20-year-old will ink a three-year deal to join the Cowboys until the end of 2024 with North Queensland expected to formally announce his signing on Monday.
