Trailfinders sign New Zealand prop Kalounivale

Trailfinders Women have signed New Zealand international Tanya Kalounivale.

The 26-year-old tight-head prop arrives at the Ealing club as injury cover alongside fellow New Zealander Fern Maia Roos. She has signed a contract to the end of March 2026.

“I’m really excited to be here,” Kalounivale told the club website.

“I’ll be learning and experiencing a different style of rugby to what I’m used to and the whole team has been incredibly welcoming from the moment I arrived.

“I’m excited for what’s to come and for the ways I can grow both as a person and as a rugby player, make new friends and experience a whole new culture.”
