Welcome Sofia Rolfi

Trailfinders Women announce the signing of Sofia Rolfi

Trailfinders Women are thrilled to announce the signing of Sofia Rolfi for the 2023/24 Allianz PWR and Allianz Cup season.

Rolfi joins from Italian side Rugby Colorno, where she has played for the last three seasons, earning her first cap for the Azzurri this month at only 22.

The Italian’s first taste of rugby was at Rugby Calvisano, after which she moved to England.

She would go on to play for Wasps for the 2019/20 season. However, this stint was cut in half as the COVID-19 pandemic forced her to return to Italy.

Rolfi was selected for the Italian squad to go to the World Cup in 2021, and although she didn’t make an appearance, she gained a considerable amount from the experience.

After signing for Trailfinders, Rolfi said: “I’m so excited to have the opportunity to be a part of this big new adventure with Trailfinders Women.

“I’m looking forward to learning as much as possible from my coaches and teammates, I’m here to improve as a player and as a person. I can’t wait to see how the season will go!”

Director of Women’s Rugby, Giselle Mather, said: “ Sofia is a very exciting young player with a huge thirst to develop.

“A very balanced runner with ball in hand and a strong defensive attitude we know she will be a genuine threat to opposition defences and we are really looking forward to seeing her make her mark on the PWR.”
