London Broncos' future appears to have been resolved, with the club on the brink of a takeover. Rugby League Live understands the Broncos are on the verge of being under new ownership, with investment coming from overseas.

Late last year, long-serving owner David Hughes decided to step down from his position at the club after 27 years, leaving the club facing an uncertain future. Hughes had provided significant financial support to the Broncos during his time in charge.

Since then, London, who were demoted from Super League at the end of the last season based on IMG scores, have been seeking new investment that would allow them to have a clear long-term future.

That has now materialised and in a further development, Rugby League Live has been told that a senior administrator currently holding a role at a Super League club will be taking on a position within the Broncos setup moving forward. However, it has been decided not to publish the identity of that person at this time.

Regardless, it is welcome news for the Broncos, who were facing an uncertain future given the substantial financial funding that has been relied upon for many years. The club has regularly relocated to various regions of the city but is now playing out of Wimbledon at Plough Lane.

Head coach Mike Eccles has remained loyal to the club in the off-season, despite job offers elsewhere, and will continue in the role and is now tasked with putting together a squad for the upcoming season.

While a large number of the club's players from last season have now departed, London have managed to retain some and have secured some new signings ahead of the campaign, adding Huw Worthing, Ben Hursey-Hord and Connor O'Beirne to their ranks.

Further signings will be required but with a takeover now imminent, that appears likely to accelerate ahead of the new campaign.
