Welcome James Kenny!
Ealing Trailfinders are delighted to announce the signing of prop James Kenny from Exeter Chiefs ahead of the 2024/25 season.
The 25-year-old joins the club on a permanent deal having been on loan for a brief spell, making one appearance off the bench on the final day of the 23/24 season.
The ex-Chief came through the Exeter academy before spending time on dual registration at National League 1 club Plymouth Albion, featuring for Exeter Braves during that stint in the Premiership Rugby Shield. He also represented England Under-20s in his youth.
The prop spent further time on dual registration at Championship side Cornish Pirates, where his notable performances earned himself a break into the Exeter first team in 2021/22, making 33 appearances from that point on.
Speaking on the move, Kenny said: “I’ve been made to feel really welcome by all the players and staff over my loan period in West London. I’m really excited to be joining such and ambitious side and hope I can bring a lot to Ealing Trailfinders next year.”
Director of Rugby Ben Ward added: “James is someone we have tracked for a while. He has good competition at loosehead and we think he is up for the challenge, and is looking to kick on with his career.”
