London Broncos announce 2004 playing
squad

London Broncos have been very active in the player market in recent weeks assembling a squad of 24 players for 2004.

Once again the club has recruited heavily from within the British game with just the two imports from the National Rugby League. Nine of the eleven 'new' players are British.

Players retained from 2003 include:

Paul Sykes, Nigel Roy, Rob Jackson, Rob Purdham, Dennis Moran, Neil Budworth, Mat Toshack, Jim Dymock, Steele Retchless, Francis Stephenson, Steve Trindall, Tom Haughey and Joe Mbu.

New for 2004 are:

Lee Greenwood (Halifax), John Kirkpatrick (St Helens), Jon Wells (Wakefield), Radney Bowker (Rochdale), Andrew Brocklehurst (Halifax), Lee Sanderson (Leigh), Dave Highton (Salford), Troy Wozniak, Mark O'Halloran (Wests Tigers), Andy Mc Nally (Castleford), Mitchell Stringer.

Mark Cox will be joining Whitehaven for the 2004 season having not sufficiently recovered from a motor vehicle accident in March this year.

The full squad is currently in Dubai where they will play in the Dubai Invitational 7's tournament from December 3-5.

Broncos coach Tony Rea said from Dubai: "We've set out to achieve a good balance throughout the entire squad. As well as youth and experience, we have gone for speed, size and versatility."

The players we have brought into the squad offer us many options and combinations. What I like particularly is that we have so many options around the ruck."

Regardless of whether they are from the north of England or the east of Australia, young or experienced, it's all about wanting to be a part of a very tight group and wearing the London Broncos shirt with pride."

This club is building its own tradition and culture and it's evolving every day. Our Dubai experience will be yet another important phase of development."
