Ealing Trailfinders' assault on achieving Championship glory next season has been boosted by the signing of Wasps back Guy Armitage.

The 26-year-old will join the West London club at the conclusion of his Wasps contract at the end of the current season.

Since arriving from London Irish in 2015, the centre has had limited first-team opportunities, playing 11 times and scoring four tries in black and gold.

The younger brother of England internationals Delon and Steffon Armitage, Guy has made just two Aviva Premiership appearances this season - one of those being as a very late replacement in Wasps' most recent game, the 28-27 loss at Sale Sharks.

His highlight came back in November when he score two tries in the Anglo-Welsh Cup defeat to Newcastle Falcons.

Who are Ealing Trailfinders? - Founded in 1871 - Located in Ealing, West London - Promoted from National League One in 2014/15 as champions - Currently second in the Championship, behind champions Bristol Rugby - Lost only four games this season and are 14 points clear of Bedford Blues in third

Guy Armitage said: “I’ve enjoyed my time at Wasps and would like to thank all the players, coaches and staff I have worked with.

“I’m excited about taking on a new challenge at Ealing next season but prior to then will be doing everything possible to help Wasps finish this season on a high.”

Ealing Trailfinders have been linked with Wasps players Paul Doran-Jones and Joe Simpson in recent weeks, but Armitage is the first player to official switch Coventry for West London.

Director of rugby Dai Young said: “Everyone at Wasps wishes Guy well for next season at Ealing and in his subsequent career.

“Unfortunately for him, Guy’s opportunities have been limited by the form our backline has shown over the last two seasons.

“But despite this he has been a valued member of the wider squad and has never let us down when called upon.

“I’d like to thank Guy for his contribution during his time with us and convey best wishes for the future.”
