Lewis Boyce leaves Bath for Ealing

Bath Rugby can confirm Lewis Boyce has joined Championship side Ealing Trailfinders on a permanent deal.

The loosehead prop joined the Blue, Black and White in 2019 and debuted in a 36-28 victory over Worcester Warriors in the Premiership Rugby Cup.

Since his debut, he has been a key member of the front row, which aided Bath’s route to the 2019/20 Gallagher Premiership play-offs.

In total, Boyce has made 52 appearances for the club and has been a much-loved member of the squad.

He joins up with Championship side Ealing Trailfinders, who currently sit top of the table.

Bath Rugby can also confirm Michael Etete has left the club and is now pursuing an opportunity in Australia.

The 25-year-old debuted in the Premiership Rugby Cup this season in a West Country derby against Gloucester Rugby and made four appearances in total.
