Ealing Trailfinders have confirmed the signing of England international Abby Dow ahead of their first season in the Premier 15s. 

The 33-cap Red Rose joins up ahead of the 2023/24 season, she won her first cap for England back in 2017 and scored five tries in her first two internationals and has since been a part of four sides that have won the Grand Slam in the Six Nations. 

The 25-year-old has played for Wasps Ladies since 2016, playing in every season of the Premier 15s with the Acton-based club and went on to earn her first professional contract in 2020. 

Speaking to club media, she said: "I'm delighted to be making the move over to Ealing Trailfinders next season! 

"Ealing is an area I know well from my time at Wasps, and also having the chance to be able to link back up with Giselle (Mather), who is someone I've worked with since I was 18 is something I'm really looking forward too. 

"To have the opportunity to join a totally new side is rare, but I'm excited for us to have the chance to be able to create our own new identity and style of play and I can't wait to see who else joins the club and can help shape this going forward!" 

Dow is one of only four players to have been named in World Rugby's Dream Team of the Year twice during its two years of existence. 

Ealing Trailfinders Women's Director of Rugby Giselle Mather said: "We are hugely excited to have Abby join us at Ealing Trailfinders. She lights up international arenas with her phenomenal power and pace and to bring that to Trailfinders Sports Club for our new fan base to enjoy week in week out is a mouth-watering prospect.  

"Abby has a fantastic attitude and work ethic that will inspire all the young athletes that will be part of our new team and I can't wait to begin to start working with her again next season."
