Bristol Bears have locked in a familiar face for their forward line. The club announced that lock Josh Caulfield is coming back from Championship side Ealing Trailfinders. Fans will be happy to see the second-row man return to Ashton Gate.
Caulfield’s Journey Back
Caulfield first played for Bristol a few years ago before moving to Ealing to get more game time. While at Ealing, he became a key player and helped the team push for promotion. Now he’s ready to bring that experience back to the Premiership.
- He played over 30 games for Ealing over two seasons.
- Known for strong lineout work and physical tackles.
- His return gives Bristol more options in the second row.
What This Means for the Bears
Bristol’s coaching staff wanted to add depth behind their current locks. Caulfield fits that need perfectly. He knows the club’s system and can step in right away. With a busy season ahead, having a reliable player like him is a big plus.
The signing also shows Bristol is building a squad that can compete on multiple fronts. Adding a player who already understands the team’s culture should make the transition smooth.
Looking Ahead to Next Season
Caulfield will join his new teammates for preseason training. Everyone expects him to push for a starting spot. If he plays like he did at Ealing, Bristol’s pack just got a lot stronger. Fans can look forward to seeing him in action when the new season kicks off.
