The London Broncos are making significant strides toward their anticipated return to the English Super League, recently acquiring Siliva Havili as their second NRL signing this week.
Following the announcement of Gold Coast Titans prop Reagan Campbell-Gillard joining the team, the Broncos, who are now under the ownership of Brisbane Broncos legend Darren Lockyer, confirmed Havili's addition to the squad starting in 2026.
Details regarding the duration of Havili's contract have not been disclosed, but the 32-year-old brings a wealth of experience with 173 NRL games under his belt. His most recent stint includes 69 games with the South Sydney Rabbitohs since 2022. Before that, he played 80 matches for the Canberra Raiders from 2018 to 2021 and had shorter spells with the St George Illawarra Dragons and New Zealand Warriors during the earlier years of his ten-year career.
As a versatile player who can operate as either a hooker or a lock, Havili is expected to enhance the Broncos' roster as they aim to reestablish themselves in a revitalized and expanded Super League.
"Siliva is the type of player who makes everyone around him better," said Director of Rugby Mike Eccles in a statement announcing the signing. "He's a competitor, a leader, and he's experienced success at international level. Adding someone of his quality to the environment is a huge statement of intent."
