London Broncos sign Ugo Tison on loan
London Broncos can announce a deal to sign French hooker Ugo Tison from Catalans Dragons in a temporary deal.
The 22 year old who can play as a hooker or in the half positions has made two Super League appearances for Catalans, making his debut against Wigan Warriors in 2022.
Ugo made his international debut for France in 2023 against England at the Halliwell Jones Stadium and has had loan spells at Toulouse and Wakefield Trinity since signing professional terms with Catalans in 2022.
Ugo has joined up with the group and is available for the selection for the weekend’s game with Salford Red Devils.
Reiss Butterworth has returned to Hull KR. Logistics and personal circumstances meant a longer term deal with Reiss would have proved difficult.
We thank Reiss for his efforts in a London shirt during his time at the club and wish him all the very best for the future.

MATCH REPORT: Featherstone Rovers 34-6 London Broncos London Broncos bowed out of the 1895 Cup at the quarter finals stage after losing to Featherstone Rovers at Post Office Road. Broncos won the toss and opted to go down the hill in the first half which was a tactic that served us well in the last visit back in 2023. It was by no means a slow start but it was the home side who registered the first points of the afternoon but it wasn’t without controversy as it looked like the officials had missed a forward pass. After play had been allowed to continue Wynne and Aekins combined for the latter to score. Reynolds kicked the extras. Rovers 6-0 Broncos. That try sparked Mike Eccles side into action and in the 15th minute the Broncos moved the ball well out to the left hand side where Liam Tindall found himself in space - who likes nothing more than green grass to run into. The winger ran almost 50 metres and cut inside to evade Reynolds to score a fantastic try. The conversion from Hellec was almost as impressive as he slotted it through the posts from a tight angle.

Mike Eccles previews 1895 Cup quarter-final L ondon Broncos Director of Rugby & Performance Mike Eccles believes Featherstone Rovers still represent one of the most dangerous sides in the Championship despite their poor start to the season. It is cup quarter-final this weekend in the 1895 Cup competition but Rovers are a side that currently sit towards the bottom end of the division that the two respective sides share. Despite Broncos coming into the game after a very solid start to the new season and having already beaten Featherstone this season, Eccles is very wary of the threat that Rovers hold especially as there has been a change in the head coach at Post Office Road since that win on February 23rd at The Cherry Red Records. Watch the full pre-match interview with Mike Eccles below. #WeAreLondon
