England vice-captain Megan Jones has signed for Trailfinders Women for the 2025-26 Premiership Women's Rugby season from Leicester Tigers.

Jones, who can play as centre and fly-half, has spent the past two seasons with the Tigers and has also previously represented Bristol Bears and Wasps.

The 28-year-old has been capped 24 times by the Red Roses and has scored three tries in three games during the Six Nations as England close in on another Grand Slam.

Jones says she is looking forward to "challenging" herself in a new environment at the Ealing-based club.

"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," she said.

Cardiff-born Jones has also represented Great Britain in rugby sevens, winning bronze at the 2018 Commonwealth Games and competing at the Tokyo and Paris Olympics.

She made her England debut in 2015 as an 18-year-old, and before the start of this spring's Six Nations was named vice-captain of the squad by head coach John Mitchell.

"Megan is a world-class player with a remarkable rugby pedigree," said Trailfinders head coach Barney Maddison.

"Her experience both at the domestic and international levels will bring invaluable leadership to our squad."

Trailfinders finished seventh in the PWR table last season.
