London Broncos chief executive Gus Mackay has confirmed the club is in advanced discussions over their future.

The Broncos, currently bottom of Super League, are definitely leaving Twickenham Stoop at the end of the year, but haven’t yet found a new home.

Several players have already confirmed their exits from the club, and there are currently only 12 contracted players for 2014.

In a statement, Mackay said: “We are working through a number of key issues and all the players and staff have today been engaged in meetings and are fully up to date on the situation. We have to reduce our cost base so that we can ensure the future of the club which is our priority.

“We are involved in ongoing discussions in relation to the 2014 season, following a detailed exploration of the options over recent months. Negotiations are at a sensitive stage but discussions are progressing as we go into the necessary details.”
