London Broncos sign Italy international Ronny Palumbo

London Broncos have confirmed the signing of Italy international Ronny Palumbo for the 2022 Championship campaign.

The back-rower has represented Manly Sea Eagles and Western Magpies in the NSW Cup Competitions.

Head coach Jermaine Coleman said: “Ronny Palumbo is an exciting player, he plays the game at 100 miles-per-hour and has intensity in everything he does. He’s an exciting ball carrier and his skill set allows him to transition between forwards and backs seamlessly.”

“He will be looking for a big year in the hope of forcing himself into the Italian squad for the World Cup so we expect to see the very best of him this season.”
