Axed Queensland Reds coach Phil Mooney will act as a part-time coaching consultant with the Brisbane Broncos.

Mooney was dumped by the Queensland Rugby Union in September after leading the Reds to 12th and 13th in his two seasons in charge at Ballymore.

Broncos chief executive Bruno Cullen on Thursday confirmed to AAP the cross-code appointment where Mooney will be at the call of head coach Ivan Henjak.

"He wants to coach, preferably coach in rugby union but he hasn't got a job at the moment and he has some talent and some skills and we hope he can offer us something," Cullen said.

"He is very highly regarded."
