Joining from Exeter Chiefs, Nelson – a dominant loosehead – brings strength, experience and a fierce competitive edge to the pack. With significant experience for Canada
With her explosive ball-carrying, solid set-piece work, and relentless work rate on the field, Nelson has developed a reputation as one of the most dependable front-rowers in the game.
Speaking on the move, Nelson said:

“I’m looking forward to joining Trailfinders and getting stuck in right away.

“Their free style of play is something that has really stood out to me and I can’t wait to learn and grow as a player and be a positive addition to the team. Team culture is a huge draw for me, and the supportive environment and community feel within the club is something that I’m really excited to become a part of.

“I’m eager to join my current Canadian teammates in the squad and thrilled to be learning and playing with new ones from all over the world!

“Trailfinders have huge ambitions for the season this year and I am massively looking forward to getting started and building towards those goals together.
