London Broncos have confirmed the signing of Italian international Jack Campagnolo who joins the club subject to receiving a visa.
The news comes after the club promised an announcement this week giving fans the choice between the reveal of their new away kit or a new signing.
Fans elected a new signing which has now been revealed to be the Italian World Cup halfback who also featured for South Sydney Rabbitohs NSW Cup team.
The 25 year old halfback becomes the latest signing ahead of our return to Super League joining; Rhys Kennedy, James Meadows, Sadiq Adebiyi, Gideon Boafo, Robbie Storey, Hakim Miloudi & Josh Rourke on the list of new recruits.
Campagnolo has spent the large majority of his career in Australia and he played for the South Logan Magpies in the Queensland Cup in 2023, where they finished second.
Eccles delighted with new signing
Speaking on the signing, London Broncos Director of Rugby & Performance Mike Eccles said;
“Jack is a terrific player that has been on the cusp of the NRL for some time now. I’m delighted that he has decided now is the right time to come to England and take on the Super League with us.
“Jack has great leadership qualities and is very much a general of a player. His organisational skills and strong kicking game will be a real asset for us.”
Last season in the Queensland Cup Campagnolo was named in the team of the season as he ended the year as the competition’s second-highest points scorer, kicking 90 goals and scoring three tries.
Campagnolo also has 6 caps at international level for Italy and joins up with fellow Azzuri teammates Dean Parata and Ethan Natoli at the club.
Campagnolo says he can’t wait to join up with Mike Eccles squad;
“With London being a great club with a rich history in the Super League it was an easy choice to come and play here
“I’m really excited to get over and work with Mike and the boys. Hopefully I add some of my knowledge and leadership to the side while learning on the way. After a great season last year I’m sure we can carry on from that and have a big 2024!”
