Robertson and Wheeldon extend London stay

by NRL

duo Michael Robertson and Scott Wheeldon have both signed new two year contracts which will keep them at the club until 2014.

Robertson signed for the Broncos from Manly Sea Eagles for the 2012 season and has gone on to become one of the most consistent performers in the sides back row.

"I've been really impressed since coming here, it's a very professional club and I've enjoyed my time here so far," commented Robertson.

"We may not be meeting peoples' expectations right now but I really believe that we can kick on for the rest of the season and that will put us in good stead going forward."

Wheeldon joined from Hull KR back in May on a contract until the end of the season and his fine form has been rewarded with a further two years in the capital.

The prop commented: "I was delighted to get it signed. I've enjoyed playing down here, I'm playing every week and that's what I came to do.

"The players and staff here are great, we need to finish the season strongly and we'll go on from there."

London Broncos head coach Rob Powell said of the signings: "Scott's been a great addition since signing, he's one of the most consistent performers and we're glad to extend his contract; which is fully deserved.

"Michael has been a great influence around the squad since he's been here. He's a good leader and a good footballer too. He is the sort of person who will help the club to build and develop going forward."
