'Very excited': Broncos sign Olympic bobsledder

The Broncos have scored a coup by signing Olympic class bobsledder Ashleigh Werner from the Wests Tigers.Werner is the modern day version of the hit 1993 movie 'Cool Runnings' - based on a true story of how Jamaican sprinters turned their hand to bobsled - and qualified for the Winter Olympics… in reverse!She joined the Tigers for the 2022 NRLW season after qualifying for the past two Winter Olympics, bagging a hat trick on debut in a fairytale start to her league career.But the 30-year-old flyer has signed a two-year deal with the Broncos which will be officially announced on Wednesday."I'm very excited - it's a wonderful opportunity," Werner told Wide World of Sports."The Broncos are such a professional club and they have been very welcoming."But having said that, leaving the Tigers was a tough decision."They have been incredible and I have so much love for the club and so much appreciation for the opportunities they've provided me."
