Jake Ellwood signs for Ealing Trailfinders

Ealing Trailfinders have announced the signing of prop Jake Ellwood for the 2018/19 season.

The front-rower who has been studying at Northumbria University has made a big impression on the BUCS League, and will now add further depth to the tight-head position at Vallis Way.

Director of Rugby Ben Ward says Ellwood is an exciting prospect for the 2018/19 campaign.

“Jake is a talented young player who we are looking forward to seeing develop over the next few years working alongside our players and coaches. It’s a testament to the club that we’ll keep looking to develop young players as we have done for the last few years to a higher level and I hope he can follow in similar footsteps to players such as Matt Cornish and more recently Reon Joseph.”

The 22-year-old has previous experience with Newcastle Falcons at age grade level as well as representing England Students, before being dual registered with Darlington Mowden Park.
