TRANSFER | Toulon activate release clause to sign English youngster

Ealing have today reveal that Harrison Obatoyinbo has left the club after Toulon activated a release clause in his contract.

The Trailfinders Rugby Academy star was promoted to the first team squad for the 2020/21 season, but was approached by the Top 14 side and has now left for France. 

Obatoyinbo, who is formerly of Harrow School, is an electric finisher who can play across the back three. He scored nine tries in 11 matches for Team Brunel, and beat 74 defenders en route to the try-line throughout the year. 

The three-time Heineken Cup Champions have activated his release clause, and he had had these words for everyone at Trailfinders Sports Club.

“The last 12 months with Ealing Trailfinders have been fantastic. They have a great rugby infrastructure and a genuine, supportive community of staff and players who have made me feel welcome and wanted. 

“Ealing Trailfinders is a great opportunity for young players with goals of being a professional. Thank you to everyone who’s helped me to kick start my career.”
