New Signing for 2027

Joe Philbin joins from Warrington Wolves for the 2027 season on a two-year deal

London Broncos are delighted to confirm the signing of experienced forward Joe Philbin, who will join the club from Warrington Wolves on a two-year deal beginning ahead of the 2027 season. 


The powerful front rower arrives in London with a wealth of top level experience, having spent his entire professional career with Warrington, where he has established himself as one of Super League’s most dependable and consistent forwards. 


Having competed at the highest level for a number of seasons, including appearances in both Challenge Cup and Super League Finals, alongside international honours during his career with Warrington, Philbin has built a reputation as a tough and reliable presence and is widely regarded as one of the competition’s most respected forwards. 


The signing represents another major step forward for London Broncos as preparations continue around the club’s long term ambitions, with Philbin becoming a key addition to an increasingly strong roster being assembled ahead in an exciting new era of the London Broncos. 


London Broncos Head Coach Jason Demetriou welcomed the signing, saying: 


"Joe is exactly the type of player we want at this club as we continue building a strong roster capable of competing at a high level. He brings genuine experience, understands what it takes to perform week in and week out, and adds a real edge to our forward pack that will be incredibly valuable for us. We are building for continued success, and Joe is another important piece of that moving forward." 



Philbin’s signing marks another significant addition for London Broncos as the club continues its long term planning ahead of the 2027 season and beyond, with supporters able to look forward to seeing one of Super League’s most experienced forwards make the move to the capital. 


London Broncos would like to thank Warrington Wolves for their professionalism and wish both the club and Joe all the best for the remainder of the season, as he closes in on 200 appearances for Warrington, a fantastic milestone that reflects his consistency and commitment over many years.

London Broncos Sign Toby King on Two-Year Deal from 2027  London Broncos are delighted to confirm the signing of experienced Super League centre Toby King on a two-year contract from 2027. The 29-year-old joins the club from Warrington Wolves and becomes a significant addition to the Broncos' squad as the club continues its push towards Super League. King arrives in London with an outstanding rugby league pedigree. A Challenge Cup winner, League Leaders' Shield winner and Super League Grand Final winner, he has established himself as one of the competition's most consistent and experienced outside backs over the past decade. Since making his Super League debut in 2014, King has made more than 200 Super League appearances and scored over 75 tries. He was named in the Super League Dream Team in 2020 and has represented England, England Knights and Ireland at the international level. During his successful career, he has featured in multiple Challenge Cup Finals and Grand Finals, while also playing a key role in Wigan Warriors' 2023 Super League title-winning campaign. The signing represents another statement of intent from the London Broncos as the club continues to build a squad capable of competing at the highest level of the game. Grant Wechsel, London Broncos Owner "We are delighted to welcome Toby to London Broncos." "When we look at the type of players we want at this club, Toby fits the profile perfectly. He brings proven Super League quality, leadership, professionalism and a winning mentality developed over more than a decade at the top level." "As we continue building for the future, attracting players of Toby's calibre demonstrates the ambition of this club. We believe London Broncos belong in Super League, and Toby's decision to join us is another strong endorsement of the direction we are heading. "There is a huge opportunity ahead of us, and we are excited that Toby has chosen to be part of that journey." Jason Demetriou, Head Coach "Toby is a player who has consistently performed at Super League level, played in big games, won major honours and understands what it takes to compete at the top end of the competition." "What excites me most is that he still has plenty of good rugby ahead of him. He brings experience, competitiveness and quality to our outside backs, but he will also have a big influence on the younger players within our environment." "As we continue to strengthen the squad, Toby is exactly the type of person and player we want at London Broncos and we're thrilled to have secured him for the next two years." London Broncos would like to thank Warrington Wolves for their professionalism throughout this process and wish Toby all the very best for the remainder of his time at the Halliwell Jones Stadium.
