Ealing Trailfinders are redoubling their promotion efforts and ramping up their on- and off-field spending with a number of high-profile signings.
Below, we look at five players who they've reportedly recruited for the 2022/23 Championship season.
#1. Jonah Holmes
- Age: 29
- Position: Fullback/Winger
The 29-year-old Wales international has been included in only one of Wayne Pivac's 38-man squads since joining Dragons from Leicester two years ago.
Holmes would have been hoping to make a return to the Gallagher Premiership, where he previously starred for Leicester, but he appears to have struggled to get a deal with the league's new £5m salary cap now in place.
DID YOU KNOW? Holmes initially played scrum half but during a loan spell with Henley Hawks he switched to the back three playing wing and full back
#2. Kevin O'Byrne
- Age: 31
- Position: Hooker
According to The Telegraph, the hooker is also poised to come on board as part of ambitious recruitment plans despite falling short of the Premiership’s minimum standards criteria for promotion this season.
#3. Ollie Fox
- Age: 20
- Position: Fly-half
#4. Dan Lancaster
- Age: 20
- Position: Fly-half
DID YOU KNOW? Lancaster is the son of Stuart Lancaster, the former England head coach at the 2015 Rugby World Cup
#5. Mike Brown
- Age: 36
- Position: Fullback

- Jordie Barrett over Damian de Allende is far from being correct. The hype around Dupont is also overreaching, he's probably 4th in the world and has been since the 2023 WC. He also avoids certain matchups which is strange. The rest of the list is pretty good apart from minor subjective biases.JasonMarlow16-09-2026
