Meg Jones joins Trailfinders Women

Trailfinders Women have announced the signing of Red Rose 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 three tries and three 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.
