Guy Armitage could make his London debut against Catalans in Perpignan this weekend.

Rugby union convert Armitage made his rugby league debut for London Skolars last Sunday via dual-registration and scored three tires in a 23-22 defeat at Doncaster. He has been included in the Broncos’ squad this week.

Matt Gee, Ryan Morgan and Dan Hindmarsh also return for London.

Ben Hellewell, Matt Fleming, Sadiq Adebiyi and Rob Butler [suspension] drop out for the Broncos.

Catalans boss Steve McNamara has made just one change to his squad that lost heavily at Leeds last time out. Samisoni Langi replaces Lambert Belmas.

The televised Super League match takes place at the Stade Gilbert Brutus on Saturday, 5pm kick-off.
