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.
