JERSEY CONFIRM DEPARTURE OF TOM BROWN

June 12 2014

Back row forward Tom Brown has left Jersey for London after signing for National One side Ealing Trailfinders. Brown, 31, joined the Islanders in summer 2013 from Welsh regional side the Dragons, and featured in 13 league matches for Jersey, scoring five tries. His final appearance for Jersey was in last month's Siam Cup fixture.

Chairman Bill Dempsey explained: "Tom was midway through a two-year contract with Jersey, however an offer was made by Ealing, who see him as a player who can help take them back to the Championship. We agreed to release Tom from his contract, as we felt that we had adequate cover in that area for the coming season.

"We would like to thank Tom for his contribution during his time in Jersey and wish him all the best for the future."

The majority of Jersey's 1st XV squad have now reported for duty ahead of the 2014/15 season..............

Ealing seem to be recruiting a lot of good players.

Seems they have had a taste of the Championship and want to guarantee a return trip. Risky business with (what I can only guess to be ) a lot of cash on the table for some of the Championship players to be recruited down to National 1.

Unless the proximity of the London Clubs is a big draw and talent is hoping to be picked up by the local big boys?

Who know, but its certainly going to be interesting in Nat 1 next season.
