He has appeared twice for the first team, scoring one try, and has this season been getting game time on loan with Plymouth Albion. 

A powerful, hard-running hooker, he stands at 6ft 2in and weighs 112kg to add considerable size to the front-row. 

Davis is excited to be moving to Trailfinders Sports Club for the 19-20 campaign. 

He said: "I am really looking forward to joining a club with ambitions as high as Ealing Trailfinders.

"It’s exciting to be part of it. Hopefully I can add to the quality that’s already there.” 

Director of rugby Ben Ward is thrilled to add yet more quality for the upcoming season.

"Paul is another top-class player who has been in a winning environment at Exeter for the last few years," said Ward.

"He is a big ball-carrier and will add to an already strong area for us as a club."
