JOSH ROURKE SIGNS FOR LONDON BRONCOS!

12 December 2023

London Broncos are delighted to announce the signing of English fullback Josh Rourke.


The 24-year-old made 28 appearances for Whitehaven in 2023, scoring 11 try’s and totalling 164 points.

Josh also made a Super League appearance in 2022 for Salford Red Devils.


London Broncos Director of Rugby & Performance Mike Eccles is extremely pleased with the acquisition.

“Josh is a tremendous talent and i’m delighted we’ve been able to bring him to London;

“He was particularly good against us at the Cherry Red Records Stadium towards the back end of the season, scoring two try’s and making a series of big defensive efforts;

“I can’t wait to see Josh develop in a full time environment with us”.


Josh picked up 5 awards at the Whitehaven awards night last season including the director’s player of the year, the coach’s player of the year, the players’ player of the year & the supporter’s player of the year and certainly seems excited to get into the thick of it with the team as he spoke to the club’s official website.


“When I got the call to say London was interested in me, I was attracted straight away. As a player, I want to test myself at the highest possible level & be the best I can be;

“I’m looking forward to meeting the lads & being in a full time environment. I can’t wait to get started & get stuck into pre season;


“It’s going to be a great experience & hopefully a big 2024!”



Welcome to London, Josh!
