The New England Free Jacks announced Todd Thornley as the club’s new General Manager, continuing the organization’s momentum following three consecutive Major League Rugby championships. Thornley succeeds Thomas “TK” Kindley as the club enters its next phase of growth on and off the pitch.

In just six seasons of play of Major League Rugby (MLR), the highest level of American rugby, Thomas “TK” Kindley built the New England Free Jacks into a rugby powerhouse. With their 28-22 defeat of the Houston SaberCats in the 2025 MLR title game, the Free Jacks completed an unprecedented back-to-back-back title run that included wins against the Seattle Seawolves (2024) and San Diego Legion (2023).

The New England Free Jacks are thrilled to announce the lineup of festival themes for the 2026 season; a series of electrifying matchday experiences that will bring even more excitement, community spirit, and unforgettable moments to Veteran’s Memorial Stadium.

The New England Free Jacks, three-time defending Major League Rugby (MLR) Champions, have officially unveiled their full 2026 roster as they set their sights on an unprecedented fourth consecutive title.
