Welcome Tomiwa Agbongbon!
Ealing Trailfinders are pleased to announce the signing of back rower Tomiwa Agbongbon on a long-term contract, joining the club from Loughborough University’s BUCS Super Rugby side ahead of the 2024/25 season.
Born in New Jersey but raised in Essex, Agbongbon has studied at Loughborough University since 2021, studying Mathematics, Accounting and Financial Management alongside playing for the BUCS Super Rugby side.
In 2021/22, Tomiwa joined Leicester Tigers ahead of the opening round of the Premiership Rugby Cup campaign, where he made five appearances.
Agbongbon then went onto make one appearance the following season for Major League Rugby side Houston Sabercats and has since returned this season for another stint with one of the best sides in the MLR.
While he missed out on the BUCS Super Rugby Championship final victory over Exeter this year due to his MLR commitments, he played a key role in their season’s success.
Following his signing with the club, Agbongbon said: “I’m looking forward to being in an environment where I’ll be pushed and can work on improving each week.”
Director of Rugby Ben Ward said: “Tomiwa is an explosive back row who we believe can develop into an excellent rugby player for Ealing Trailfinders. I’m excited to see how he grows over his time here.”
