Six Brisbane Roar stars sign up for more

Joining them in signing new deals are vice-captain Shane Stefanutto, goalkeeper Michael Theo, Brazil import Henrique and versatile defender Ivan Franjic.

All six players have been with Roar during its history-making past two seasons and played important roles in the back-to-back Grand Final victories.

A-League Johnny Warren medallist Broich and three-time A-League Goalkeeper of the Year Michael Theo have signed four-year extensions and will play for Brisbane Roar until at least the end of the 2016-2017 campaign.

Henrique, who has just applied for Australian permanent residency, and Franjic have committed for an additional three years until 2015-2016 season.

Defender Shane Stefanutto extends his contract to the end of the 2013-2014 season, while Smith's new deal will see him at the club until 2015.

"I'm extremely happy to re-sign with Brisbane," Smith said.

"One of the big things when talking to the club was discussing the vision the management has for the team and it was very reassuring to know they wanted to keep us together.

"There have been opportunities not just for me but for the other players, here in Australia and overseas, but what we are trying to create is worth more than money.

"We want to create that legacy and keep building on it and that was a key part of my decision to stay in Brisbane."

Coach Rado Vidosic, who has been with the club since its inception, was thrilled to have secured the services of so many integral members of the playing group. 

"This is a great day for Brisbane Roar," Vidosic said.

"The re-signings of these six Championship-winning players gives us a fantastic base to work from for further success and also gives us stability for the future.

"These players are excellent role models for younger players and with their guidance, we hope to develop the next generation of Brisbane Roar champions."
