Ex-Castleford Tigers winger linked with move following exit

Ex-Castleford Tigers winger Tuoyo Egodo is on the prowl for a new club following London Broncos’ decision to go part-time.

The capital club had been full-time for a number of years, but owner David Hughes took the brave decision to pull the plug following the recent uncertain times.

In a statement, the Broncos said: “Financially, the club will be receiving a vastly reduced central distribution in 2022 and we have had to make changes to offset this reduction which has led to the decision that has been taken by the club.

“The London Broncos will increase the level of financial input into our highly successful Academy and Scholarship programme as well as work with the Community game in London and the South East to continue to develop professional rugby league players as we take the opportunity to restructure the club ahead of our planned move to Plough Lane in 2022.

“Off the field a huge amount of work is being undertaken in several areas to ensure that rugby league in London continues to thrive and that the Broncos are able to return stronger for a promotion push in seasons to come with a squad littered with home grown players and a solid supporter base in our new home.”

That has also meant repercussions for the likes of Egodo who have no desire to go part-time at this stage in their careers.

24-year-old Egodo made 16 appearances for the Castleford Tigers between 2017 and 2019 before moving back permanently to the London Broncos – where he began his career.
