New signing ✍️ We're delighted to welcome Toby Cole to Ilkley Rugby Club for next season.

A versatile back capable of playing on the wing or in the centre, Toby joins the club after spells with Rossendale and Preston Grasshoppers, bringing plenty of pace and attacking threat to the squad.

Toby has built his game around getting over the gain line, creating line breaks and putting defences under pressure with explosive ball carrying and the ability to out-pace defenders.

We're excited to see Toby in black and look forward to seeing what he can bring to Stacks Field.

Welcome to Ilkley, Toby.

We’re delighted to welcome Billy Nichols back to Ilkley Rugby Club for next season.

A familiar face to many around Stacks Field, Billy returns to the club after some time at Otley. A powerful loosehead prop, he brings plenty of experience, physicality and quality to the front row.

Known as a strong ball carrier, tough defender and accomplished scrummager, Billy will add serious strength to the pack and will be a huge asset both on and off the field. Just as importantly, he brings the character, intelligence and passion that help drive standards within a squad.

We’re excited to see Billy back in black and look forward to welcoming him home for the season ahead.

Proud to share that Max Jones and Tom Reavey are confirmed for next season.

Two players who brought huge commitment and consistency throughout last season. Max set the standard week in, week out with his physicality, relentless work rate and willingness to put his body on the line, earning huge respect across the squad and deservedly picking up the Senior Trainer of the Year award.

Tom made a big impact with his energy around the park, strong defensive work and ability to front up in the tough moments. A player who consistently gave everything whenever called upon throughout the season.

Two quality lads who embody the attitude this group is built on and we’re delighted to have them back at Stacks Field next season.

Proud to share that Jack Popely and Ed Finch are confirmed for next season.

Two players who made huge contributions across the park last season. Jack brought relentless energy and physicality every time he stepped onto the field, consistently putting Ilkley on the front foot with his carrying and defensive work.

Ed continued to impress throughout the campaign with his all action performances, work rate and ability to influence games in both attack and defence. A player who developed massively over the course of the season and fully earned his Senior Most Improved Player award.

Two top lads who embody the effort and commitment this group is built on and we’re delighted to have them back in black next season.
