As revealed by Neale Harvey in The Rugby Paper on February 22, Bath flanker David Sisi will spend next season on loan at London Irish.
Sisi, who joined Bath from the Exiles back in 2013, said: “All young players need consistent game time to help them improve and learn, and the back row is such a competitive position at Bath that this is a really good opportunity for me to get that time on the pitch.”
“I’m excited to be returning to London Irish on loan next season. It will be great to go back to a club that has done so much for me in the past and I’m looking forward to making the most of the opportunity over the season.”
London Irish Operations Director Bob Casey said: “David joined London Irish at 16 and came through our AASE and Academy programmes. We are delighted he will be returning to the Club next season. He is young, English and can play across the entire back row and is ambitious and excited about the challenge of returning to London Irish.”
Bath Head Coach Mike Ford added: “Dave is a very talented young player, so we’re looking forward to seeing how he progresses with London Irish before coming back to us. We want our young players to become the best players they can be, and this loan move gives Dave that chance.”
