HELEN NELSON SIGNS FOR TRAILFINDERS

TRAILFINDERS WOMEN ARE DELIGHTED TO ANNOUNCE THE SIGNING OF HELEN NELSON.

The Scotland international arrives in West London from Loughborough Lightning, having established herself as one of the leading fly-halves in the women’s game, bringing a wealth of experience from both domestic and international rugby.

A composed playmaker and proven leader, Nelson has represented Scotland on the biggest stages and played a key role in the continued growth of the national side in recent years. She will join four compatriots at Trailfinders, adding further quality and experience to the squad.

On joining Trailfinders Women, Nelson said:
‘I’m really excited to be joining Trailfinders. The team have gone from strength to strength, and making the final this year was a massive achievement for a relatively
new programme.

‘I love the way the team play. It’s an exciting brand of rugby across the board – they want to move the ball and attack from everywhere, and they’re brave in the way they defend too. It’s a team with world class players and a coaching staff I’m excited to work with.

‘The fans have always been really loud, and clearly passionately support the girls. I’m really excited to experience and be a part of that.’

Head Coach Barney Maddison said: 

‘Helen is a fantastic rugby player and will bring a wealth of experience from both international and the PWR here to Trailfinders.

‘We have a strong Scottish connection here at Trailfinders so when Helen became available it was a no brainer. I’m really looking forward to seeing Helen add to this group.’
