Ambitious Championship club Ealing Trailfinders have confirmed 11 new additions in the last week with more set to come.
David Douglas Bridge from Leicester Tigers
The 21-year-old joins Ealing following an impressive season playing for Loughborough in BUCS Super Rugby, before joining Leicester Tigers on a short-term deal. Confident across the back-row and second-row, the powerful forward made his Tigers debut against Newcastle in March, followed by a starting appearance in the Premiership Cup semi-final against London Irish. He also represented England Students in their fixtures against France this April.
Ross Kane from Ulster
The 27-year-old has been an impressive and invaluable member of the Ulster squad since his senior debut against Dragons in September 2016. Born in Belfast, Ross played his junior rugby for Donaghadee RFC before captaining Methodist College to the Schoolsβ Cup title in 2013. He continued his rise through the ranks representing Ireland U19s against France in 2017.
Ollie Fox from Bath
The 23-year-old is highly rated throughout English rugby and makes the switch to Trailfinders following an impressive Premiership stint at Bath. Ollie achieved 21 first-team appearances throughout his three seasons at The Rec, including 11 leagues matches and two Cup fixtures in 2021/22.
