Thinking about joining ERUFC this season?
You’ll quickly realise rugby clubs are built on more than just what happens on the pitch 👊

Meet Jack “Glass” Howard — 5 seasons in, one of our Vice Captains for the 25/26 season, and a massive part of the squad 🦅

While focusing on recovering from his ACL injury this season, Glass remains one of the biggest characters around the club and someone the lads can always count on 🔴⚫️

From unforgettable pub crawl moments to helping lead the team off the pitch, he’s proof that being part of ERUFC means more than just matchdays 💪

More player profiles dropping every week.

With it being National Volunteers’ Week, we want to take a moment to say a massive thank you to everyone who gives up their time for Essington RUFC.

Put simply, without our volunteers, we wouldn’t have a club. From coaching and maintaining the grounds to helping out behind the scenes and on match days, every single bit of effort is deeply appreciated. You are the backbone of this club. 🙌

Want to get involved?
We are always looking for fresh faces to join the team off the pitch. There is a role for absolutely everyone, no matter how much or how little time you have to spare.

If you’d like to find out how you can help, please reach out to any committee member or drop us a message directly. Let’s keep moving the club forward together! 🔴⚫
