Aaron Small signs deal after successful trial
London Broncos are delighted to announce Aaron Small has signed a permanent deal with the club after a successful trial.
The 33-year-old Jamaican International has been training with Mike Eccles during pre-season and played in the Challenge Cup tie against Goole Vikings.
The centre has played almost all of his career in London playing with Skolars and Hemel Stags but last season played alongside Matt Ross at Cornwall.
Speaking to London Broncos media, Small is looking forward to the season ahead;
“I’m really happy to represent the club, challenge myself and learn from some experienced players.”

London Broncos announce partnership with ‘Tickets for Good’. London Broncos are delighted to announce a continued partnership with ‘Tickets for Good’ for the 2025 season as we aim to make Rugby League more accessible to communities in the London area. The aim of ‘Ticket for Good’ reads; “We know how important live events are to society and culture, but we also know they can be difficult to attend - every year tickets are getting more expensive and harder to find. We are here to break down that barrier, by giving free and discounted live event tickets to the NHS and charity workers. “To achieve our goal, we have partnered with some of the UK’s best live event companies to source our tickets, helping them develop their audiences and increase their social impact through our members. “We want to expand our work to cover more and more sectors to increase event attendance for all.”
Over 100 young players attended the London Broncos Talent Pathway Development Training sessions last week. Booking is NOW OPEN for the next sessions in May!

FULL MATCH REPLAY: London Broncos vs Batley Bulldogs
LONDON BRONCOS V BATLEY BULLDOGS (by David Ballheimer) London Broncos (6) 14, Batley Bulldogs (6) 16 London Broncos suffered the agony of conceding a last-play try to lose to the Batley Bulldogs. The truth is that London paid the penalty for dominating large parts of the game, especially the early part of the second half, but wasted great attacking positions with sloppy passes, poor run options or ineffective kicks. This is not the Bulldogs’ first two-point win over the Broncos, not even the first on 12 April because, 44 years ago – my first ever away game as a fan – the Londoners lost 10–8 to the Gallant Youths at Mount Pleasant. There were five tries at the Cherry Red, four more than I witnessed a week before Easter 1981.
