The Brisbane Broncos , Maroons and Kangaroos great has secured a majestic six-bedroom Queenslander in the posh suburb of New Farm just weeks after selling his previous home for almost six times what he paid for it. Lockyer is one of the most famous faces to ever grace the Broncos training base at Red Hill and home ground of Suncorp Stadium - Lang Park to the locals - and bought his previous family home in the nearby suburb of Paddington.

'The buyer and seller are both very happy,' director of Wakely Properties Ben Wakely said at the time. 'I knew through my own process of looking for a similar property that there's not many around and there are a number of people looking for homes that are completed and on larger blocks. 'Even though [the home's] got a bit more age on it, it would cost a lot more to replace it.
