London Broncos name Craig Gower captain

London Broncos have named Australian half-back Craig Gower as their captain for the forthcoming season.

The 33-year-old, who played international rugby union for Italy, joined the Broncos from French Top 14 side Bayonne in August.

"He's a champion bloke and a great leader. He's the hardest trainer you're going to come across. He leads by example," head coach Rob Powell said.

"He's been great, a breath of fresh air for this club."
