James Cunningham links up with London Broncos
Thursday 2 July 2015 09:58, UK
Hull FC hooker James Cunningham has joined London Broncos after being released by the Super League club.
The 21-year-old spent most of last season on loan to the Broncos, making 17 appearances, and he has now signed a contract with the Barnet-based Championship club to the end of 2016.
Cunningham was recalled by Hull last July but has made just six substitute appearances this year.
London coach Andrew Henderson said: "It's fantastic to bring James back to the club. I think he's a quality player and quality person and will fit in well with what I'm building here.
"It is important at his age that he's getting regular first-team football and he sees the opportunity to do that here at London.
"James is tough, skilful and adds speed around the ruck, I'm really excited to see what he's going to bring to the team."
The arrival of Cunningham will allow Henderson to concentrate on his coaching duties - he came out of retirement in May following the recall of Warrington hooker Brad Dwyer.
