The former Queensland and Test front-rower featured in North Queensland's inaugural 2015 premiership side.
He has played a total of 245 games - 52 for the Cowboys to date.
"Ben's contribution to this team over the past two seasons can never be undervalued," Cowboys general manager Peter Parr said.

"His experience from more than a decade playing professional rugby league at the highest level is something he has willingly passed on to our emerging forwards."
