Ex-Munster scrum-half Ryan Foley to join Ealing Trailfinders

Ealing Trailfinders have announced the signing of Ryan Foley for the 2018/19 season. 

The scrum-half came through the Munster academy but injury brought his time at Thomond Park to an end before he headed to France, but he will now return to Britain for a stint in the Championship. 

“Ryan is a player that he have had our eyes on for a while and we’re very pleased to have him for next season," said Director of Rugby Ben Ward.

"He has an excellent kicking game and there is no doubt that the quality is there so we look forward to him showing our supporters what he has to offer.”

The Irishman joined Munster’s academy at the start of the 2014/15 season and made two appearances for the first team whilst being a regular in their ‘A’ side during the British and Irish Cup competition. 

Foley has six caps for his country at Under 20 level, and after spending some time on the Côte d’Azur with Stade Niçois he then moved to Rugby Olympique de Grasse, where he has played 16 times this season.
