The National Rugby League has officially rubber stamped Mick De Vere's comeback to the Brisbane Broncos.

More than two years after retiring, former test centre De Vere has been allowed to come back for Brisbane and keep working as development officer with Easts Carina rugby league club.

Broncos CEO Bruno Cullen said De Vere provides timely depth with a question mark over centre Justin Hodges' rehabilitation from major shoulder surgery.
