- Ruby Tui has signed a one-year deal with Trailfinders Women, who reached last season's Premiership Women's Rugby final.
- Tui won the 2021 Rugby World Cup with New Zealand and scored in their 34-31 final victory over England.
- Tui holds Olympic gold and silver medals in sevens and was named World Rugby's women's sevens player of the year in 2019.
- Trailfinders head coach Barney Maddison called Tui 'one of the most respected figures in the women's game,' citing her leadership and top-level winning experience.
- Tui said the PWR is 'the biggest and best women's comp in the world right now' and credited the Trailfinders squad's style for drawing her in.
Why it matters: Tui's signing brings a 2021 World Cup winner and 2019 World Rugby women's sevens player of the year to a PWR finalist, directly strengthening a club that lost in last season's final and giving Trailfinders a veteran leader as they push for the title.
