John Boudebza joins London Broncos until end of season


London Broncos have signed French international John Boudebza until the end of the season.

The 27-year-old hooker spent of the 2017 season with French club Lezignan after leaving Hull KR following their relegation at the end of 2016 and is looking forward to returning to England.

"It was a great opportunity for me," said Boudebza, who was in Hull KR's 2015 Challenge Cup final team. 

"London is a great club, with great players and staff. They want to be in Super League and I wanted to be a part of that challenge."

London coach Andrew Henderson made the move for Boudebza after losing hooker James Cunningham and half-back Will Barthau to injury and is keen to add some Super League experience heading into the Qualifiers.

"John's an established player and he'll bring some value to the team," Henderson said. "He's a French international and he's spent a couple of seasons in Super League recently, so he knows that level of football."
