Alivia Leatherman: Ealing sign United States prop

Trailfinders Women have signed United States prop Alivia Leatherman.

The 22-year-old made her debut for her country against Italy in last year’s WXV 2 tournament and has gone on to win five caps.

She is set to make her debut against Leicester after being named on the bench for Sunday’s Premiership Women’s Rugby clash.

She joins United States captain Kate Zackary at the west London club based in Ealing.

“Alivia’s potential is massive and we hope within the environment we can help her reach that,” head coach Barney Maddison told the club website, external.

“She’s fitted in really well and I’m really looking forward to seeing her play.”
