Rugby, Australian Football: Wells stays a Bronco till 2008

Former Wakefield and Castleford winger Jon Wells has pledged his future to London Broncos by agreeing a new contract that will keep him at Griffin Park at least until the end of the 2008 season.

The 26-year-old law graduate, who will begin his second season with the Broncos against Warrington in Brentford on Sunday, sees a positive future for rugby league in the capital.

"What I've seen in the past 18 months has really impressed me and that's played a big part in me committing myself to London for such a long term," said Wells, who made 136 appearances for recently-relegated Castleford.

"I've enjoyed my time, I've developed as a player and I think the future looks as bright for the Broncos and the code in London than ever before."
