David Hughes confirmed the London Broncos are up for sale after 27 years, stating, 'I have decided on behalf of myself and the Hughes family that we will step down at the end of the season.' This decision marks a significant transition for the club, as Hughes aims to facilitate the next owner in guiding the Broncos through the Championship.
Reflecting on his tenure, Hughes noted, 'After 27 eventful years, of which we spent 20 years in the Super League, I will make every effort to facilitate anyone interested in taking over the club.' This emphasizes the importance of finding the right successor to continue the club’s legacy.
The London Broncos, despite facing relegation challenges under the IMG grading system, have shown they can outperform expectations. They finished second during Hughes' first full season and made a memorable run to the 1999 Challenge Cup final.
Following their return to Super League, the Broncos faced a tough season and ultimately finished bottom after a disappointing 54-0 defeat against Warrington Wolves, highlighting the challenges that lie ahead for whoever takes over the club.
