Every player committed to London Broncos for 2025

London Broncos’ return to the Championship was rubber-stamped when IMG released their 2025 gradings in October, but the capital club’s fate was well known for months prior.

The Broncos – who only ended bottom of the Super League table in 2024 on points difference – must now prepare for life back in the second tier.

And after a number of their 2024 squad caught the eye, they’ve sealed contracts with clubs in the top-flight, so London coach Mike Eccles has a bit of a rebuild on his hands.

Here is a rundown of every player who has committed to the capital club for 2025 so far…

Lewis Bienek

Sidcup-born prop Bienek, 26, began his career with the Broncos and 86 of his 130 senior career appearances have come in their colours across three separate stints.

With Eccles’ side on a permanent basis since 2022, the three-time Ireland international was among the first to commit to staying at Plough Lane following the club’s relegation. He’s also featured for Hull FC, Castleford Tigers, Doncaster, Oxford and Leigh.

Marcus Stock

28-year-old Stock joined London ahead of the 2023 season, and featured in every single game for Eccles’ side last term in term in the top flight.

The Milton Keynes-born forward – who has also donned a shirt for Hemel Stags, York and Midlands Hurricanes (then Coventry Bears) – now has 61 appearances for the Broncos on his CV.

Harry Stevens

Youngster Stevens has also been tied down at Plough Lane for 2025.

A product of the club’s academy, the 19-year-old made his first-team debut back in June 2023 away against Batley Bulldogs, and then spent the 2024 campaign featuring heavily at reserve level.

Sadiq Adebiyi

Lagos-born Adebiyi is another product of London’s academy having joined the club as a youngster after moving to the UK at the age of six. The forward, a two-time Nigeria international, will turn 28 in January and returned for a second stint with the capital club ahead of the 2024 season.

Having also played for Hemel Stags, Newcastle Thunder, Sheffield Eagles, Wakefield Trinity, Oxford, London Skolars, Oldham and Keighley Cougars, 68 of Adebiyi’s 127 career appearances to date have come in a London shirt.

Jensen Monk

Monk has also come through the youth ranks with the Broncos, and has four senior appearances to his name. Three of those came in the promotion-winning 2023 campaign, with one first-team appearance coming last term in the Challenge Cup against Warrington Wolves.

Halted in his tracks by a broken foot in 2024, the 20-year-old loose forward – born in Bromley – featured heavily at reserve level and was named in a number of Eccles’ 21-man squads for Super League games. He is expected to play a bigger part come 2025.

Sam Winney

Ireland youth international Winney became the sixth confirmed member of Eccles’ first-team squad for 2025 as he put pen to paper on his first professional contract in November.

Now 20, the budding prop has been with his boyhood club since the age of 16 and was named their Reserves’ Player of the Year for 2024.

Ben Hursey-Hord

Versatile forward Hursey-Hord was London’s first new signing announced ahead of 2025, with the 22-year-old returning to the Broncos having previously spent a brief period in their academy.

First joining the capital club’s youth ranks aged 17, he’s gone on to spend time with Leeds Rhinos before getting a breakthrough at first-team level in the Championship with Halifax Panthers. Featuring nine times for Fax in 2024, Hursey-Hord also played three games on loan for Whitehaven, too.

Connor O’Beirne

Australian half-back O’Beirne’s signing was confirmed by the Broncos in mid-November, with his arrival subject to a visa being approved.

The towering 27-year-old playmaker has recently spent time in the French Elite Championship, donning a shirt for both Carcassonne and Lezignan. This will be his first involvement in the British game.

Huw Worthington

The Broncos have signed Wales international Huw Worthington for the 2025 campaign.

The 30-year-old prop arrives in the capital having most recently spend the 2024 season with Cumbrian side Whitehaven in the Championship.

Worthington switched codes from rugby union after previously playing for Bedford and Richmond: and even spent time in Australia with Sydney Roosters’ New South Wales Cup team a couple of years ago.

Alex Walker

Scotland international Alex Walker has committed his future to the Broncos for 2025.

The 29-year-old fullback is a product of the club’s academy and has scored 78 tries in 170 appearances for London since making his first-team debut back in 2014: and currently sits fifth in the club’s all-time appearances list.

Will Lovell

A key bit of retention for the Broncos is keeping club captain Will Lovell at the Cherry Red Records Stadium in 2025.

The 31-year-old forward made his first-team debut for the club back in 2012 and will enter his 12th season with the Broncos in 2025.

Lovell was one of three London players to play in every single fixture of the 2024 Super League season, and finished second in the competition for the number of tackles made.

He has played 173 games for the Broncos which sees him ranked fourth in the club’s all-time appearances list. He is now just 29 appearances behind club legend Steele Retchless.
