___________________________________________________________________The North Queensland Toyota Cowboys pulled off a major coup by announcing the signing of current Queensland and Australian lock Josh McGuire prior to the 2019 season.
McGuire signed a four-year deal with the Cowboys after securing a release from the Brisbane Broncos.
Aside from a glittering NRL resume, McGuire has also made 14 appearances for Queensland after debuting in 2015 and a further eight for Australia. He also previously made seven appearances for Samoa.
A calf injury was the only blemish on McGuire’s maiden season in North Queensland, with the representative forward forming a destructive partnership with fellow middle forward stars Jason Taumalolo and Jordan McLean.
McGuire was again one of the Cowboys’ best in the COVID-19 interrupted 2020 season, averaging a monumental 166 running metres across his 17 appearances.
McGuire is contracted through the end of the 2022 season.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
