London Broncos have retained captain Will Lovell and fellow academy product Sadiq Adebiyi for 2021.

Back-rower Lovell, 27, made his first team debut for the Broncos back in 2012 and has made more than 60 appearances for the club as well as spending time with London Skolars.

Nigerian-born forward Adebiyi, 23, also progressed through London’s academy and has played more than 40 games for the club since making his debut in 2015. He has earned two caps for Nigeria.

London 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.”
