Lockyer, a club legend and former captain, steps into the role with a deep understanding of the Broncos’ culture and a commitment to restoring the team’s legacy.
Lockyer’s appointment marks a significant shift in the Broncos’ leadership. As a player, he was instrumental in the club’s success, leading them to multiple premierships and earning widespread respect for his leadership on and off the field. His transition into coaching is seen as a natural progression, given his extensive experience and passion for the club.
The decision to part ways with Maguire was influenced by several factors, including the team’s inconsistent performance and challenges in adapting to the Broncos’ culture.

However, his time at the Broncos was marked by struggles to connect with players and instill a cohesive team culture.
Lockyer’s vision for the Broncos focuses on rebuilding a strong team culture, emphasizing accountability, and fostering a sense of pride in wearing the Broncos jersey. He aims to develop young talent and reinvigorate the team’s identity, drawing from his extensive knowledge of the game and the club’s rich history
