Second-row forward signs up for two further years

James Sandford has signed a new two-year contract with Aviva Premiership club London Irish. The second-row forward, who joined the club from Rotherham last summer, has made eight appearances for the Exiles so far this season. The 23-year-old, who has represented Ireland at under-20 level, said: "I have thoroughly enjoyed my time at London Irish and I'm delighted to be staying on. "I feel I have improved as a player under Toby Booth and Neal Hatley during my short time here, and I am sure I will continue to develop over the next few seasons." Head coach Booth added: "James is a talented player who we think has a promising future. He is very physical on the field, as well as natural leader, who has performed well when called upon this season."
