Veteran Brumbies hooker Josh Mann-Rea has signed a two-year contract extension that will keep him with the club until the end of the 2019 Super Rugby season.

The late-blooming Mann-Rea made his Super Rugby debut in 2012 and will be 38 when his new deal expires.

"Hooker is a tough position to play and Josh's experience in that role and his desire to keep on getting better and improving year-on-year are admirable qualities," Brumbies coach Stephen Larkham said.
