Rugby Australia and the Queensland Reds are delighted to confirm the re-signing of Zane Nonggorr on a three-year deal through to the end of 2029.
Nonggorr, 25, has played 62 times for Queensland and earned 19 caps for the Wallabies. He played in nine of the Wallabies' 15 Tests in 2025 and featured in victories over Fiji, the British & Irish Lions, South Africa, Argentina and Japan.
A powerful tighthead, Nonggorr was a junior star with The Southport School, Australian Schoolboys and Under 18s before making his Reds debut as a 19-year-old against the NSW Waratahs at the Sydney Cricket Ground in 2020.
The Cairns product, an imposing figure at 186 centimetres and 126 kilograms, earned his international debut against the Springboks in Pretoria three years later and established himself as an important member of the Wallabies' squad in 2025.
Wallaby No. 966 and Queensland Red Zane Nonggorr said: "It's really good to have this security locked in. I can focus on footy and getting better. I feel the standard at training and the competition for spots is really high for the Reds and Wallabies in the front-row positions. That's what you want in teams that are pushing to do well in competitions.
"For me, my biggest improvement over the past two seasons has been workrate. It's movement around the field so I'm getting more involved, like hitting more rucks, reloading after set pieces and so on. I'm very excited to keep working on my game for the next three years at the Reds.
"It's exciting to be a part of this period in the game and hopefully I'll be able to play for the Wallabies this year if I perform for the Reds. First things first and that's playing well in Super Rugby. Having played some Test rugby, you know how good you have to be to reach that level. My goal is to perform more consistently to that level and express that in Super Rugby to earn the chance again."
Rugby Australia Director of High Performance Peter Horne said: "Zane has made strong progress in the last few seasons. At just 25, he has already passed 50 games for the Reds and is one match away from 20 Tests with the Wallabies. With continued hard work and improvement, he has the potential to become an excellent contributor to Queensland and Australian Rugby.
"Zane provides strength and depth to our front row stocks and we are pleased he has re-committed to Australian Rugby and as we build towards a home Rugby World Cup."
Queensland Reds Head Coach Les Kiss said: "Noggsy has a lot of valuable experience as a young international front-rower and is on an upward trajectory with his career. He's shown very good improvement over the past two or three years.
"There's lots of belief he will continue to do so for Queensland and Australian Rugby. He's also an important and respected member of our locker room at the Reds."
