HALF-BACK Oliver Leyland has joined Warrington Wolves on a two-year deal from London Broncos for the 2025 season.
The 23-year-old half-back is a product of London’s Academy and was one of the key figures in their 2023 promotion campaign and plucky 2024 Super League season.
The Kent-born playmaker contributed 16 try assists this year in the Broncos’ challenging season and is a handy goalkicker too with 40 goals.
Oliver Leyland will join up with his new teammates when pre-season training begins in November.
He will be sponsored by 4T’s Brewery.
Speaking on the move to Warrington, Oliver Leyland said: “It’s massive for me and it means a lot to be joining Warrington.
“Playing with and learning off the likes of George Williams, and with Sam Burgess as coach as well, will really bring my game on and help push the team forward.
“I love what they’ve built already under Sam and I can’t wait now to rip in and be a part of it.”
Warrington Wolves Head Coach Sam Burgess added: “Oli is a great young player who we were keen to bring to Warrington.
“He’s been in consistent form all year for London, setting up tries and causing problems for the opposition. I’m excited to see him develop with us next year.”
