Warrington have signed prop Rob Butler from London on a two-year contract.

The 22-year-old forward made 40 appearances for the Broncos since making his debut for the club in 2018.

Kent-born Butler played for England Knights in last year’s win over Jamaica at Headingley.

Butler said: “I’m buzzing to finally be able to announce the move. It’s a great opportunity to join a club like Warrington. I’m really looking forward to it and excited to get going.

“I want to be real physical. I want to step up and be the man who comes in and does big hits and plays hard. I’m ready to make my mark.

“My time at London, and that year in Super League, really gave me my chance to be ready for this.

“Warrington is a club at the top fighting for silverware year in year out and that’s what I want to be a part of and where I want to be.”

Warrington coach Steve Price said: “I’m really pleased to welcome Rob to the club and he’s a fantastic addition to our pack.

“He’s a big bopper and is someone who plays the game tough.

“He’s an exciting young player and I feel like there’s a lot of good footy to come from Rob in the years ahead.”
