Trailfinders Women can confirm that Barney Maddison has been named Head Coach ahead of the 2024/25 season.

The former Assistant Coach has built up a wealth of coaching experience in rugby alongside his playing career.

After graduating with a Sports Coaching degree from Leeds Metropolitan University in 2011, Maddison has built up a 13-year coaching CV at teams like Sheffield Hallam, Bracknell RFC, Trailfinders Rugby Academy, and Trailfinders Women.

A true Trailfinder, Maddison is already written into the history books with the men’s team having led them to their second Championship title and will hope to lead Trailfinders Women to their first PWR title in the coming years.

Following his appointment as Head Coach, Maddison said: “I’m really looking forward and excited about the opportunity I’ve been given with Trailfinders Women. I want to improve on what has already been established last year. They are a great bunch to work with, and I’m looking forward to seeing what we can do this season.”

Managing Director Ben Ward said: “We’re delighted to appoint Barney as Head Coach of Trailfinders Women. He was a brilliant leader as a player, which has shone through in his coaching career, and he has a great rugby brain.

Ealing Trailfinders can announce that Barney Maddison has retired from professional rugby.

Maddison will forever be a legendary figure in the history of Ealing Trailfinders, having captained the club to its second-ever Championship win.

The hard-nosed Northumbrian represented the club on 78 occasions, leaving everything out on the pitch in every game he played.

After joining in 2017, Maddison had a brief stint away from W13 at London Irish before re-joining the club in 2020.

In the last year, Maddison has helped Trailfinders Women as an Assistant Coach and will continue to be involved in the club.

After confirming his retirement, Maddison said: “I’d like to think that I’ve left the shirt in a better place than when I joined. I’ve made some great memories and lifelong friends at my time here, and I wish the squad all the best in the upcoming Championship campaign. I’ve really enjoyed my time at Ealing Trailfinders and I’m looking forward to my future at Trailfinders Sports Club.”

Director of Rugby Ben Ward said: “Barney will always be an Ealing Trailfinders legend. I don’t only respect him for his efforts on the pitch, but I massively respect him as a man as well. He has been such a brilliant leader for the team in its most successful period, and we will never forget everything he has done in Green and White.

“We will celebrate his time at the club as a player properly at some point this season. Barney will remain at Trailfinders Sports Club in a new role to be announced shortly.”
