London Broncos Women are proud to unveil their leadership group for the 2026 season as head coach Colin Baker announced the three players taking up the mantle:

Team Captain – Kathryn Salter
Vice Captain – Emily Hughes
Club Captain – Polly Roberts

With a blend of international experience, composure, and passion for the badge, the trio will guide the Broncos both on and off the field as the squad builds towards an exciting new campaign.

Team Captain – Kathryn Salter

Kathryn Salter takes on the captaincy ahead of her fourth season with the club, bringing with her six years of rugby league experience and international honours with Wales Rugby League. A calm and composed presence, Kathryn has become a central figure within the Broncos’ lineup. Her ability to control the game, make smart decisions under pressure, and lead by example in both attack and defence makes her a natural leader within the squad. Consistently setting the standard at training and on matchday, she embodies the professionalism and resilience that define London Broncos Women. Her appointment reflects the respect she commands across the team and the trust placed in her to lead the group in 2026.

Vice Captain – Emily Hughes

Joining Kathryn in the leadership group is fellow Welsh international Emily Hughes, who has been named Vice Captain. An experienced Broncos player, Emily brings energy, reliability, and a strong voice to the squad. Her commitment to the team and willingness to lead from the front make her a vital support to Kathryn and an important figure for teammates across the club. With her experience and competitive edge, Emily will play a key role in driving standards and supporting the squad throughout the season.

Club Captain – Polly Roberts

Polly Roberts steps into the role of Club Captain ahead of her third season with the Broncos. With three years of rugby league experience and international representation with Ireland Rugby League, Polly has established herself as one of the team’s most vocal and tireless leaders at hooker. Her tenacity and skill set the tone on the field, while her passion for building culture and connection strengthens the squad off it. As Club Captain, Polly will continue to champion team values, support player development, and help foster the inclusive, driven environment that underpins the Broncos’ identity.

With a strong leadership group in place, London Broncos Women head into 2026 united, ambitious, and ready to build on last season’s progress. The club looks forward to seeing Kathryn, Emily, and Polly guide the team through what promises to be an exciting year for women’s rugby league in the capital.
