Bears add new prospect Sipawa

John Sipawa - Second Row/ Centre

We caught up with Head Coach Tom Tsang and John Sipawa.

TT: John joins the club having previously progressed through the London Bronco's academy and u19s system and is now a student and sports scholar at Coventry University studying Accounting. He has already been playing for the University side and has shown good physicality and technical ability, especially in the tackle and contact area. He has expressed a desire to learn and improve which is what we look for in players at the Bears. He gives us excellent depth in the second row position but also has the athleticism to player wider, in the centres. He has already shown a design to learn and improve, which is exactly the type of attribute we look for in a player at the Bears.

 JS:  I see signing with the Bears as a big opportunity for me, as it gives me the opportunity to play high quality rugby league while studying at University.  Many of my friends from London Broncos have told me how they enjoyed the team atmosphere at the Bears and I look forward to joining that environment for this up coming season. I hope to help the team improve from last year strong finish and play in every game.
