Ealing Trailfinders have announced the signing of winger Earle, who has joined the club with immediate effect.
The winger, who was born in Hong Kong, comes to West London after two seasons with the Newcastle Falcons, where he scored 5 tries in 17 appearances.
Before joining the Falcons, Earle won Premiership titles with Saracens and Harlequins, scoring in Saracens’ 27-10 win over the Exeter Chiefs in 2017. He also played for Harlequins in the 2021 final, which they went on to win.
Rees-Zammit could be ready to QUIT rugby forever
The 21-year-old Wales international and youngest Lions tourist since 1959 has caught the attention of NFL scouts.
Rees-Zammit has been scoring tries for fun ever since he was in the Gloucester Rugby Academy. The Welshman is the youngest Gloucester Rugby player to play in the Premiership and was just 18 years and 70 days when he made his debut in that competition against Bath at Kingsholm.
According to The Rugby Paper, he is currently under contract at Kingsholm until the end of next season, and the scouts are considering him as a potential recruit for American Football.
