As London Skolars Head Coach Joe Mbu continues to assemble his squad for the forthcoming season the club is delighted to announce the signing of former London Broncos Super League player Lamont Bryan.

Bryan is no stranger to New River having made a significant contribution to Skolars 2012 campaign when he made 18 appearances whilst on dual registration, scoring 8 tries. All in all Bryan has made 31 appearances for Skolars, scoring 44 points.

Bryan’s outstanding displays in Championship 1 didn’t go unnoticed and in 2013 he signed to play for Featherstone Rovers in the Championship, where he made a total of 24 appearances, scoring 6 tries. Despite a lot of interest in his signature Bryan has decided to return to the capital and play for Skolars in 2014, a decision that has clearly delighted Joe Mbu: “Lamont is a another key signing for the club. He is familiar with the set up here and knows most of the lads really well from his time here and at Broncos. The squad is taking shape nicely and Lamont is another quality addition who the supporters really appreciated when he played here in 2012”.

Bryan, who has made a number of international appearances for Jamaica, is scheduled to feature for Skolars in the forthcoming Capital Challenge match at the HAC against a Wigan Warriors XIII on the 24th January. Looking ahead to the fixture Skolars General Manager Howard Kramer had this to say: “Ticket sales are already over 50% up on last year’s Capital Challenge match and the pre-match luncheon, featuring Martin Offiah and Jamie Peacock as speakers, has also outsold previous years. The news that Lamont Bryan has signed for the club should make the match even more of a must see for Rugby League fans in London”.
