Clubb appointed new Broncos captain

London Broncos have appointed Tony Clubb as their new captain after Craig Gower officially stepped down from the role.

Clubb, 25, takes over as captain from Gower, who had held the armband since signing for the club in 2012.

Broncos coach Tony Rea said: “Tony has all the attributes of a leader; he’s been in the system for eight years, leads from the front and is a proud Londoner. He has other attributes the team can look to in the heat of battle.

“It certainly gives us an opportunity to share the leadership around. Craig as a play maker will always show the intensity to play the game hard and work hard – the change just enables us to have another dimension to the leadership.”

Clubb will captain Broncos for the first time when Castleford visit London on Saturday.
