Ealing Trailfinders have unveiled a landmark partnership with Nike, which will begin in the 2026-27 rugby season.

 

Both the men’s and women’s squads will sport Nike-branded kits, heralding the brand’s return to professional UK rugby and symbolizing the start of a new era for the club.

Managing Director Ben Ward highlighted how this partnership elevates the club’s stature and matches its ambitions.
