Ealing Trailfinders are delighted to announce the signing of lock forward Ehize Ehizode from fellow Championship side Doncaster Knights ahead of the 2024/25 season.
The highly experienced forward came through the Wasps academy, representing them at Under-18s and A-League levels. He also spent time at the Bristol Bears academy before gaining game time at Dings Crusaders and Hartpury.
Ehizode’s career has traversed many sides in the Championship, having played for the newly promoted Chinnor and London Scottish before joining Doncaster Knights in 2022.
The 26-year-old has made just under half a century of appearances for the Knights across all competitions and was named Supporter’s Player of the Year for the 22/23 season.
Following his signing for the club, Ehizode said: “I’m excited to be joining Ealing next season. For the past two years I have been at Doncaster Knights, I’ve enjoyed my development as a player and as an individual, and I’m grateful to the past and present coaching staff who helped with my development. I’m looking forward to working with a new coaching staff, a new challenge in a new environment which will push me to excel as a player.”
Director of Rugby Ben Ward said: “Ehize has impressed us a lot at Doncaster and has been a mainstay in one of the teams battling at the top of the table for the past couple of seasons. I hope he can carry on this form at Ealing Trailfinders next season.”
