LONDON Irish second-row forward James Sandford has re-signed with the club for a further two seasons.
Sandford, 23, joined last summer from Rotherham and has since gone on to make eight appearances for the Exiles this season.
He has captained both Ulster and Irish schools at age grade rugby and in 2006/07 was named the Northern Bank Schools player of the year.
He has also played for the Ireland Under 20 side and commenting on his decision to re-sign, he 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."
London Irish head coach Toby 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. "
