Edward Timpson
England
English prospect Ed Timpson will bring some extra power to RFCLA’s back row in 2025.
Timpson has caught the eyes of talent scouts both in Australia and abroad after some stellar showings in Sydney’s Shute Shield in recent years.
Timpson lit up that competition’s grand final for Norths with a spectacular try for his side, in what was one of the all-time deciders.
The backrower was born and raised in England, playing alongside fellow RFCLA recruit Ben Sugars in university leagues in England.
His form throughout the season caught the eye of international scouts as well as domestic onlookers, with the Bristol Bears bringing him in on a short-term contract until the start of 2025.
That contract brought him an opportunity in the knockout Premiership Rugby Cup, playing in two matches for the Bears in that competition, before joining RFCLA in 2025.
