The highly-rated front row forward arrives at the Nick Newbold Stadium after progressing through the Sale Sharks pathway and establishing himself as one of the most promising young props in English rugby.

Standing at 180cm and weighing 118kg, Onasanya brings top-level experience despite being just 24 years old. His rugby journey began with Eccles Rugby before continuing at Leigh RUFC, where his performances earned representative honours with Lancashire and North of England Counties.

His impressive development saw him progress through England's age-grade pathway, representing both England Under-18s and England Under-20s before breaking into the Sale Sharks senior setup.

During his time at Sale, Onasanya made 43 first-team appearances, featuring in both Premiership and European competition, while also gaining valuable game time during a spell with Chinnor, where he made seven appearances.

A dynamic loosehead prop who combines physicality at the set-piece with mobility around the field, Onasanya arrives at Coventry with significant potential and a desire to continue his development.
