Jonathan was the first ever Scot to play for the GB Lions when he travelled to France with them last year and his selection again this year is a testament to the effort, work-rate and determination that he has shown over the past 12 months.
During that time he has captained the Broncos Youth Squad to the Scottish and UK titles and led the team during their trip to the European Youth Schools Finals in Dusseldorf in June 2002.
His re-selection to the GB Squad is a well justified reward for his efforts.
This is a another superb achievement and everyone at the Club wishes Jonathan every success.

FIRST SCOTLAND INTERNATIONAL CALL-UP on 7th July 2001

Jonathan was one of four Broncos players who travelled south to beat England by 44 points to 38. It was a close and tough game with England taking an early lead before Scotland rallied and came from behind to win the game. All of the Broncos played their part in helping the Scottish side to victory. Jonathan scored off of a 48 yard pass to take Scotland into the lead. This score was the one that gave the momentum back to Scotland, which they maintained till the end of the game. Not bad for the youngest player on the Scotland Squad.
