Grasshoppers RFC Overseas Players
With Heathrow Airport a mere 15 minute drive away it is no surprise Grasshoppers RFC has attracted a large number of overseas players to the club, including players from Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and Fiji.
The policy has proved to be mutually rewarding for both club and players alike. Hoppers has benefited from the added strength to the senior squads and the diversity of different playing styles and cultures. In return the players themselves have enjoyed being involved in a friendly and sociable rugby club that is committed to improving its playing standards.
To help our overseas players settle into the local area, Grasshoppers RFC use's a network of local contacts and businesses to find employment and accommodation and we are happy to provide this support to any potential 1st XV player moving to West London area.
Grasshoppers RFC is based in Osterley in West London and benefits from being approximately 30 minutes by train from Central London.
If you are visiting the UK for a year or two and feel the urge to play at an ambitious English rugby club please contact one of our overseas "ambassadors" and they will be only too happy to help you.
