London Skolars are delighted to announce that Ade Adebisi has re-signed for the 2013 season. Injuries limited Ade’s appearances in 2012 but he still weighed in with 13 tries in 16 starts and, to date, Ade has amassed an impressive 43 tries in 56 games for the club.

After committing himself to the club for another season Ade (26) had this to say: “2012 was frustrating as I was unable to complete the season but I am fighting fit now and raring to go. Joe Mbu has put together a competitive squad and I know I will have to fight for my place in the team but I feel we have a real chance of promotion this year.”

Ade will continue to combine his rugby playing with his job as a support manager for security firm Wilson James and he has recently been adopted as an ambassador for the Sickle Cell Society, who see Ade as a great role model for sickle cell sufferers. “I want to do everything in my power to help the Society,” he says.  “I want to speak to as many people as possible, to get children and parents to understand the condition.”

We’re sure rugby league fans everywhere will welcome the news of Ade continuing his rugby league career and defying the odds.

Commenting on the signing Skolars General Manager Howard Kramer had this to say: “Ade is a big character at the club and was sorely missed when he had fitness and health issues towards the end of last season. Everyone is delighted to welcome him back and we look forward to watching him add a few more tries to his already impressive haul.”
