Oli Leyland to join Warrington Wolves
London Broncos can confirm that Oli Leyland will depart the club and be joining the Warrington Wolves.
The move ends a nine year association with the club for Oli after joining from Invicta Panthers as a 14 year old.
After progressing through the scholarship and academy Oli made his London Broncos first-team debut in 2021 in the Championship against York Knights.
Leyland was a runner up in the Championship Young Player of The Year in 2022. He was the Broncos top point scorer in 2022, with 102 points from two tries and 47 goals, and won the London Broncos Supporters Association Young Player of the Year award voted for by supporters.
In 2023 London Broncos would win promotion from the Championship and Leyland was once again a key figure as he scored 192 points with 9 tries.
Oli would make his Super League debut in Round 1 of the 2024 Super League season and would go on to play in every single game and was once again named the Young Player of the Year and ranks 10th all-time on points scored for London Broncos.
Speaking to London Broncos media, Oli said;
“I would like to say a massive thank you to all of my teammates over the years. I've made some great friends and learnt a lot from them. To all the staff a massive thank you for everything you’ve done, in particular Danny Ward (Wardy) for giving me the opportunity in the first place and Mike Eccles for believing in me and supporting me through this journey we’ve been on. Over the last 9 years I’ve grown up at this club and have come to love it and will always be watching and supporting.
“Last but not least I just want to say I have a massive appreciation for the fans, a small group who are fiercely loyal, loud and proud.
“Once a Bronco, always a Bronco and I’m so grateful to have played my small part in this club's big history.”
The club would like to thank Oli for his services and wish him and his family all the very best in the future.
