London confirm first two re-signings for 2021

London Broncos have confirmed the re-signing of captain Will Lovell (above) and utility forward Sadiq Adebiyi.

Lovell, 27, is into his third spell with the club, having first made his debut as a teenager back in 2012, and was appointed club captain ahead of this season before it was cancelled due to the Covid-19 lockdown.

Adebiyi, 23, is also a homegrown product and has been part of the first team squad since 2015, making several appearances during the club’s Super League campaign last year.

On the re-signings, Broncos head coach Danny Ward said: “It’s great news for the club that Will has extended his contract for 2021. Will is yet another academy product who has been at the club a long time now, an influential member of the squad and brings plenty of experience at the top level.”

“We’ve seen Sid develop all the way from our scholarship program into a Super League player. He transitioned well from prop to back row last season and came up with some fantastic performances at the top level.

“We are really looking forward to seeing that progression again next season. Sid will once again head up the energy and enthusiasm department for the team.”

The Broncos have confirmed that further announcements surrounding recruitment will be made in the coming days, as will a statement regarding the Super League application process.
