Ealing Trailfinders sign Ben West

Ealing Trailfinders has announced another new arrival for the 2018/19 season, with Ben West joining from Yorkshire Carnegie on a two-year deal.

The second-rower has made 31 appearances for the Emerald Headingley side since arriving in 2016, and will add more quality to the squad for next season. 

West joined Yorkshire Carnegie mid-way through the 2016/17 season from London Welsh, and has since been virtually ever-present in their match day squad as they consistently battle towards the top end of the Greene King IPA Championship. 

The 26-year-old played over 50 times for Welsh and helped them win promotion in the 2013-14 season as well as lift the British and Irish Cup in 2016, giving him a vast amount of experience in the Championship. 

Standing at 6ft 6” he will add further size and knowledge to the line-out, and will look forward to working with the likes of Harry Casson, Jordan Onojaife and Tom Denton in the second-row.
