Malta international Louis Mifsud is the latest Bournville player to commit himself to the club for the 2025/26 season.
Mifsud has just completed his second with Bourns following his arrival from Stourbridge in the summer of 2023.
He is just the second player to win full international honours while with Bournville and he now has three caps for Malta – for whom he qualifies through his paternal grandparents – the most recent against Israel last month.
Mifsud played his formative rugby at Old Swinford Hospital School in Stourbridge where he played in a pack that also included Ben Meakin. The pair then graduated through the ranks and made the switch to Bournville at the same time.
Captain Meakin has also signed up for another season with Bourns and new Head Coach Alex Grove is delighted that Mifsud has followed suit.
“Louis is a strong ball carrier who provides the team with front foot ball,” Grove said.
“In the first-half against Devonport Services in our final match of the season, he was our best carrier and the inroads he made in the midfield created a lot of space out wide for our outside backs to score.
“I’m pleased he’s had the experiences with Malta and he seems to be really enjoying his rugby at the moment.”
