American scrum-half Eamonn Matthews played in Major League Rugby between 2020-2023. He represented Rugby ATL between 2021-2022, before signing for the Rugby New York Ironworkers in 2023.

Matthews signed for Rugby ATL in November of 2019, ahead of the COVID-19 shortened 2020 season. He did not feature in any MLR games in 2020, instead playing with Rugby ATL’s academy side, the 404 Pathway. Matthews played with Rugby ATL through the 2022 MLR season, earning 6 caps and his only MLR start for the Ratlers.

Following the 2022 MLR campaign, the New Jersey native signed with the Rugby New York Ironworkers in early February 2023, just weeks before the start of the 2023 season. He was the Ironworker’s 4th-string scrum-half, but still earned an additional 4 MLR caps during the campaign, scoring his only MLR try.

During his MLR career, Matthews earned a total of 11 caps (1 start) across 4 seasons, scoring 1 try in total. On 16th August 2023, Matthews announced his retirement from professional rugby at the age of 26.
