Henry Arundell's Triumphant Return to England Rugby Squad

Henry Arundell rejoins the England rugby set-up after his stint with Racing 92, aiming to make an impact in upcoming international matches.

Henry Arundell has made a swift return to the England rugby squad following his final game with French club Racing 92. The 22-year-old winger, known for his explosive speed and try-scoring ability, has joined England's four-day training camp, signaling a potential return to Test action next month.

Arundell, who joined Racing 92 in 2023, has agreed to return to the Premiership with Bath for the upcoming season. This move makes him available for England selection once again, as his time in France has concluded. His return is timely, especially with England's upcoming matches against Argentina and the United States in July.

Arundell's journey has been nothing short of remarkable. He burst onto the scene with London Irish, scoring a try on his Test debut against Australia in July 2022. Despite London Irish's administration in June 2023, Arundell was granted dispensation to play at the Rugby World Cup later that year, where he scored five tries in the pool-stage win over Chile.

His stint with Racing 92 saw a mixed performance. While he scored a hat-trick on his debut, the club struggled to 10th place in their most recent Top 14 campaign. Former England boss Stuart Lancaster's sacking as Racing head coach in January marked an early end to Arundell's contract with the French side.

In his final game for Racing, Arundell scored two tries, showcasing his top-end pace and versatility. His ability to play at full-back is a valuable asset as England experiments with forward-heavy benches requiring versatile players in the backline.

England's upcoming match against a France XV at Twickenham's Allianz Stadium on June 21 will be a crucial test for Arundell and the squad. His return is a boost for head coach Steve Borthwick, especially with Immanuel Feyi-Waboso's speed sorely missed during his injury.

Arundell's journey from London Irish to Racing 92 and now back to England with Bath is a testament to his resilience and talent. His return to the England set-up is eagerly anticipated, and fans are hopeful for his impactful performance in the upcoming international matches.
