COVENTRY Rugby have confirmed the signing of hooker Ethan Hunt from Champ Rugby rivals Hartpury.
The 24-year-old arrives at the Nick Newbold Stadium after making 71 appearances in English rugby’s second tier.
Hunt scored seven tries in 24 matches for Hartpury last season and featured against Coventry in the Champ Rugby play-off quarter-finals.
He developed through Hartpury College and Hartpury University before progressing to senior rugby.
Hunt said: “I’m thrilled to be joining Coventry Rugby. The ambition throughout the club and style of play made it a no-brainer.
“I look forward to getting stuck in, playing in front of the supporters and seeing what we can achieve in 2026/27.”
Coventry head coach, Alex Rae added: “Ethan has always stood out as an abrasive, physical hooker whenever we’ve come up against him.
“We think there’s even more to his game and that’s going to really come out once he’s with us.
“He’s a player with plenty of Champ experience already, but we believe there’s another level he can get to and we’re excited to help him reach it.”
