#4. Jordy Reid from Gloucester
The Australian, who quickly became a fan favourite at TFSC, will return to West-London having made 37 appearances in green and white between 2018 and 2020.
Reid, who left the Trailfinders to join Gloucester, hit the ground running with the Cherry & Whites as he made an instant impact during the latter end of the 2019-20 season after COVID-19 delayed the Gallagher Premiership finale that year.
He since went on to make over 50 appearances for the West-Country outfit, becoming hugely popular among the Kingsholm faithful.
On his return to Ealing, Reid said: “I’m really excited to be re-joining Trailfinders ahead of next season.

“I have such great memories from my first stint and I’ve always remained fond of the club and the supporters, so I can’t wait to get back involved!”
Director of Rugby Ben Ward said: “We’re delighted to be able to bring Jordy back to the club after such a successful three years in the Premiership with Gloucester.
“He was such a popular figure within the squad and among the fans when he was with us the first time round, and he’s only improved since then, so we’re looking forward to be welcoming him back to TFSC in June.”
The only change that fans can expect from Reid from his first time at the club is that he now without his signature dreadlocks! Despite not cutting his hair for 13 years, Reid shaved his head following Gloucester’s final league home game, raising over £13,000 in the process for MMD charity 4Ed, in support of his former teammate Ed Slater who is battling the condition.
#5. Henry Walker from Gloucester
The hooker has represented his country at age grade level, playing for England U16s and U18s as well as earning his first cap for England U20s back in February 2017 against Italy.
He started his career at Old Silhillians RUFC at the age of six and captained his school during his time at Bromsgrove.
Walker, a graduate of the Gloucester Rugby Academy, went on to make 63 competitive appearances for the Cherry & Whites following his debut against Barbarians in 2015.
The hooker was also part of the squad that travelled to the 2018 World Rugby U20 Championship in France, where they finished runners-up, losing 25-33 to the hosts in the final.
Upon signing with Trailfinders, Henry Walker said: “I am incredibly excited to start this next chapter of my career at Trailfinders and am relishing this new challenge that awaits in London.
“Trailfinders’ recent successes speaks for itself and I think it is the perfect place to develop my game. I can’t wait to get started!”
Director of Rugby Ben Ward said: “I’m looking forward to working with Henry.
“He’s impressed when he had his opportunities at Gloucester and I’m sure he will adapt to our style of play very well.”
