Kadin and Treyvon Pritchard have expressed their desire to live out their dreams together as they re-commit to Australian Rugby.

The brothers re-signed with the ACT Brumbies and Queensland Reds on consecutive days, keeping them in Australia long-term.

Both had attracted interest from incoming NRL side PNG Chiefs, but older brother Kadin says Rugby Union remains their focus as they both look to crack the Wallabies squad.

"It was pretty cool to see interest from cross-codes. But I love rugby union too much and the Brumbies are where I want to be," he said on Monday, re-signing for an extra year until 2030.

"It (PNG) was definitely a good opportunity, but talking with my brother and all that, I didn't want to switch to a new code. I think I'm still finding my feet here in rugby, so I don't want to go and switch to a different thing and kind of restart where I've been going. 

"I think what [Treyvon] been able to do at his young age, I think it would be smart for them to try and keep him around."

19-year-old Treyvon shared the view, emerging as one of the brightest teenage talents during the U20 World Championship.

"I've established myself here a little bit and I want to continue to grow here and what they've given me, I want to be able to give back to them in the next coming years," he said on staying in Queensland until at least 2029.

"It was exciting getting some cross-code engagement but Union has given me a lot so being able to continue my time here, I'm going to grow as a player and as a person. Brisbane's my home so I'm really excited to continue with this journey."

The Reds star is currently rehabbing from a broken leg, set to return in November or December.

“We’re delighted Treyvon has committed his future to Australian Rugby and the Queensland Reds," RA Director of High Performance Peter Horne said on Treyvon.

“He’s clearly a special talent and having been developed through the Australian Rugby pathways, we’re looking forward to continuing to help grow his game and develop him on and off the field.

“We’ll continue to support him through his current injury setback and look forward to seeing him back on the field doing what he does best soon.”
