Doubles from Rhys Williams and Eddie Battye have helped London Broncos secure a 42-24 win over Wakefield, their first victory in the Super League since 2014.

Wakefield started quickly with Craig Kopczak and Ryan Hampshire scoring in the first 10 minutes but Broncos got their first score since winning promotion last season through Matty Fleming, before Jacob Miller extended Wakefield's advantage.

Williams, Kieran Dixon and Battye scored to give the Broncos the lead which they then extended to 26-18 through Matty Fozard just before half-time.

Wakefield's Kyle Wood scored after the break to reduce the gap but second scores from Williams and Battye as well Elliot Kear's try sealed their opening win of the season.

In October, the Broncos won the Million Pound Game against the Toronto Wolfpack which saw them promoted back to the Super League.
