Early Career in England

Leo Dynevor started his professional rugby league journey in England. He played for the London Broncos team. This was his first experience playing at a high level.

Playing for Newcastle Knights

Leo was the top points-scorer for the Knights in 1997. He helped the team win a big game against the North Sydney in the preliminary final. However, he did not play in the Grand Final. The coach decided to use different players for that important match. The Knights went on to win the Grand Final that year.

Time with Western Suburbs
