We are thrilled to announce the signing of Red Roses vice-captain, Megan Jones ahead of the 2025-26 season.

Jones, highly accomplished as both a centre and fly-half, brings a wealth of knowledge to the pitch, along with a distinguished career in both 15s and 7s rugby.

Previously impressing for both Bristol Bears and Wasps, she joined Leicester Tigers ahead of the 2023/24 season, where she further enhanced her reputation as one of England’s top centres.

Jones made her international debut for England at just 18 years old, when she faced New Zealand in 2015. Since then, she has accumulated 24 caps for the Red Roses, playing a key role in some of the team’s most successful campaigns.

An integral part in England’s title-winning performance at the inaugural WXV tournament in New Zealand, Jones was named in John Mitchell’s squad for the 2024 Six Nations, which resulted in a Grand Slam victory. Jones was then named vice-captain ahead of this year’s edition and has recorded 3 tries and 3 assists for the Roses in the competition so far.

Beyond her 15s career, Jones has excelled in 7s rugby as well, winning gold with Team GB at the 2023 European Games in Poland. In June 2024, she was named in the British squad for the 2024 Paris Olympics, showcasing her versatility and commitment to the game at the highest level.

Speaking on her signing, Jones said:

“I’m really looking forward to joining Trailfinders Women and challenging myself in a new environment. The Club has that community feel which I love, and there’s a passion and ambition to push on that really excites me. I really like the way the team play, and I can’t wait to join up with the group and get going.”

Barney Maddison, Head Coach, added:

“Megan is a world-class player with a remarkable rugby pedigree. Her experience both at the domestic and international levels will bring invaluable leadership to our squad.

“We’re thrilled to have her join the club and look forward to seeing her elevate our game both on and off the pitch.”
