Adult Player transfers



Players who have current registration with another club in Ireland and who wish to transfer to Highfield RFC, must complete an Inter Club Transfer form. Caroline Lyons (Player registration officer), will assist with the completion of the form and will assist in having your old club sign the release. The transfer form is available for the link below.

Transfer forms - inter-union

If you are currently registered with another club outside of Ireland, then you will need an International Rugby Board release to play in Ireland. A copy of the form is available below. Caroline Lyons (Player registration officer) will help you complete your transfer. Once the transfer is approved the player is clear to register with and Irish club. The Overseas player registration form and Visiting player profile must be completed and presented in person at the provencial office (in our case at the Munster Brnach office in Cork - Irish Independent Park).

Adult Membership (non Playing)

Everyone is welcome to join Highfield Rugby Football Club. As with all membership based clubs there is a process to gain membership. We have tried to make the process as simple as possible. The first step is to apply to the club office for a membership form. This form collects basic personal information, and requires a nomination from two existing club members.
On receipt of the completed form, your name will be displayed on the club membership board for two weeks. This time is to allow every club member an opportunity to view all  membership requests. At the management meeting following the completion of two weeks, your membership will be considered by the management committee. You will be notified after that management meeting of the outcome of that consideration.
