Rob Butler’s determined dashes from a kick-off to gain possession for the London Broncos contributed to their successful promotion to Super League in 2018 and also their 10 wins in the top flight the following season that were just not quite enough to avoid relegation, this being confirmed in their last match of the campaign. His appearances in the Championship were limited last season because of Covid-19 but he continued to impress and in November he signed a two years’ contract with Wire. Rob was called into the England Knights squad in 2019 and made his debut as a starting prop in the 38-6 victory over Jamaica at Headingley.
