QUEENSLAND State of Origin stalwart Brent Tate will play on in 2015 after extending his contract with the Cowboys for another 12 months.

The 32-year-old will have a chance of achieving two significant personal milestones in his 15th season next year _ 100 games for North Queensland and 250 overall.

“I’ve really loved my time in north Queensland so it’s great that I’ll be able to stay here at the Cowboys for at least another season and a half,” Tate said.

“I think I still have plenty to offer the club and happily they think the same way.

“I’m definitely still enjoying playing football, being a north Queenslander and everything that goes along with it.”

Tate has played in each of Queensland’s last six State of Origin matches, taking his career total to 21 games.

He has also represented Australia 26 times, most recently at the 2013 World Cup.
