The club became West London Sharks for the renamed Rugby League Conference in 1998 and the London Broncos briefly ran the club as their 'alliance' team. This time they played in the Southern Division. West London entered a second string in the London League in 2000.

In 2005, West London stepped up to the South Premier Division.

West London won the South Premier in 2008 and the 'A' team won the London League. The first team made it to the Harry Jepson grand final but lost to Nottingham Outlaws 8 - 28.
