James Buckland leaves Ealing Trailfinders

Ealing Trailfinders can today confirm that James Buckland has left the club with immediate effect.

“I would firstly like to make clear this decision has absolutely nothing to do with the result on Saturday," said Director of Rugby Ben Ward.

"We would like to thank James for his efforts at Ealing Trailfinders but feel this is the right time to make a change in the best interest of the club for the remainder of the season.”

We will have further news regarding our coaching staff in the near future.”

Having previously taken London Scottish and London Welsh into the Championship top 4, 36-year-old Buckland was appointed head coach of Ealing in June 2018.
