Gower will play with ESL side, the London Broncos, and despite having previously thought that a return to league was not on the cards – he is excited at the ESL opportunity.
“I didn’t really see myself playing rugby league again”, Gower said.
“I needed a new challenge and that was to play rugby union but it got to the stage where it wasn’t as enjoyable.
“But this did come as a bit of a surprise.
“I had talks about going to the NRL but I had a knee injury so it was hard to progress those further.
“However, the Super League option came up and that gave me more time to recover.”
