Broncos recruit Australian prop

London Broncos have signed Australian prop Nick Slyney.

Slyney, 25, has been with the Brisbane Broncos for the past two seasons, and has previously played in the NRL for North Queensland Cowboys.

He said: “The opportunity to live and play overseas is one my girlfriend and I are extremely eager to take up as a new chapter of my footy career.”

Slyney’s grandfather was born in London so he is able to get an ancestry visa.

Head Coach Tony Rea said: “We’ve been talking with Nick for the last four months. He has shown outstanding character and will prove to be a strong part of the capital’s pack.”
