Ollie Curry signs for Bedford Blues

Bedford Blues have announced the signing of Ealing Trailfinders lock Ollie Curry who will make the move to Goldington Road this summer.

Second-row Curry joined the Trailfinders ahead of the current campaign from Rotherham Titans where he scored one try in 19 appearances for the South Yorkshire side. 

Speaking about the capture, Blues Director of Rugby Mike Rayer said: "We are exceptionally pleased to have secured the services of a young man with the quality that Ollie has. He was the standout forward for Rotherham last season and he really wants to kickstart his career again. I think he's perfectly suited to our style of play and I know that Alex Rae is really excited about working with him."

The 22 year old came through the ranks at London Irish making his debut against Sale before going on to play nine more appearances for the Exiles as well as featuring in their A-League and 7s sides.

Curry gained valuable first team experience when he was dual-registered with Esher before making the move to Titans for the 2016/17 campaign.
