Brandon Webster-Mansfield Signs New London Broncos Deal to 2028
London Broncos have tied down centre Brandon Webster-Mansfield on a new two-year contract that runs until the end of 2028, BBC Sport reports.
A centre is the player who usually lines up in the middle of the backline, the group that runs the ball and tries to create space for wingers. Webster-Mansfield is 25 and has been one of the club's most productive attacking players since arriving in 2025. He has made 30 appearances for the Broncos and scored 26 tries over two seasons.
His time in London has already brought silverware. Last season he helped the club win the League Leaders' Shield, which goes to the team that finishes top of the regular league table, along with the 1895 Cup and the Championship Grand Final. The Championship is the second tier of English rugby league, one step below Super League.
Webster-Mansfield was born and raised in Campbelltown, in New South Wales, Australia. He came through the junior ranks at Campbelltown Collegians before spending time in the NSW Cup, the state competition that feeds Australia's top flight, with Wests Tigers, St George Illawarra Dragons and South Sydney Rabbitohs.
His route to London was not a straight one. He first moved to France in 2025 to play for Villefranche XIII Aveyron, a club in the French rugby league system. He signed for the Broncos later that year.
Head coach Jason Demetriou has described him as an elite centre in the Championship. That is the kind of praise that matters most to a player who has bounced between clubs and countries, and a longer contract gives him something he has not had for a while: time to settle.
The timing also matters for the club. London Broncos are hoping their 2027 season will be played in Super League, the top division. Super League shareholders backed a move to 15 teams from next season earlier this week, and the club is working towards a place in that group. Whether that bid succeeds is not yet decided, but a player on a deal until 2028 gives the coaching staff a stable core to build around.
For fans, the headline is simple. One of the club's standout attacking players is staying put, and the Broncos have a little more certainty heading into a big year.
