As revealed in The Rugby Paper three weeks ago, London Irish signed former England International Luke Narraway on a two year deal.
The experienced No.8 joins the Exiles from Top 14 side Perpignan where he has spent the last two seasons.
He said: “There has been a lot of positive news to come out of London Irish over the last six months, not least with the announcement of the new Board of Directors and the move to a new state of the art training ground. I’m excited with the direction the Club are heading and I’m looking forward to being a part of their plans.”
Director of Rugby Brian Smith added: “Luke is a talented player with a huge amount of Premiership experience. As a Club, we want to be challenging for silverware and we need the right types of player to achieve those goals. I had the pleasure of working with Luke in the England set up and look forward to doing so again next season. He has bought into what we want to accomplish and therefore is a perfect fit for London Irish.”
