London Irish sign Fijian International

As revealed by Neale Harvey in The Rugby Paper on April 26, London Irish have secured the signing of Asaeli Tikoirotuma.
The Fijian international, 28, who can play both at centre and on the wing, will move to Sunbury after only one season at Harlequins where he struggled to get regular game time.
He said: “I am really looking forward to starting at London Irish. Having spoken to the management it is clear that London Irish is a family club and they have core values that really resound with me. The Club is also very ambitious and heading in an exciting direction. I have worked with Tom Coventry before and he is a great coach, I can’t wait to work with him again at London Irish next season.”
London Irish Operations Director, Bob Casey said: “Asaeli is a quality player and a real game breaker. He brings a lot of experience with him, in Super Rugby, the Premiership and at international level. Both Tom Coventry and Matt Symons have spoken very highly of him and we are all looking forward to him being part of the squad next season.”
Harlequins Director of Rugby Conor O’Shea added: “We are all grateful for Tiks’ contribution to us this season; his try during our win over Leinster at The Stoop in December will live long in the memory. I know he is looking forward to linking up with his old coach Tom Coventry. He and his family move with our best wishes.”
