Congratulations to former South Woodham Ferrers RFC player David Langley, who has hung up his boots following the 2025/26 season.

David played for us in 2013/14, moving on to Colchester, Cambridge and then Wasps, with the prop then moving on to Coventry and Moseley.

He has been with Moseley since 2021 and has now retired from competitive rugby.

We wish David & his family all the best for the next chapter of their lives.
