London Broncos can confirm that Bill Leyland has suffered an ACL injury and therefore looks set to miss the entire 2024 season. It is devastating news for the 20 year old who was set to feature prominently in the first team this season after an outstanding 2023. The injury was sustained in the pre-season fixture at Castleford Tigers and London Broncos Director of Rugby & Performance Mike Eccles explained the situation; “We are devastated to say Bill Leyland is out for the season. “We are working through that now with the powers that be around the tackle at Castleford. We are just devastated for Bill, I think we all knew internally at the club that he was going to set the competition alight this year. “It’s important that we get around him as a club, all the boys, all the staff. We’ll give him the best treatment possible, like we do here. The best surgery possible. “He’s done his ACL and we just have to move on with it and do our best for him.”
