Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.The investment bank Citi has beefed up its equity trading team with a serious heavy hitter, hiring the England rugby World Cup winner Josh Lewsey, who played 55 times for his country, scoring 22 tries, and won three caps for the British and Irish Lions.
However, Mr Lewsey is far from the only former rugby international now to ply his trade in banking. The highest-profile transfer came in 2006 when Société Générale announced it had hired French international Thomas Castaignède, who moved to UBS the following year and then to interdealer broker Icap's interest rate swaps team.
England back Austin Healey joined Credit Suisse's private bank the same year. And Simon Halliday, with 23 England caps, joined Lehman Brothers in 2000.
