London Irish trio pen new deals
- 1480
Double World Rugby U20 title winner Danny Hobbs-Awoyemi, fly-half Theo Brophy-Clews & academy graduate Tom Fowlie have signed a contract extension at London Irish.
Former England age group international loosehead Hobbs-Awoyemi joined Irish from Northampton Saints ahead of the 2016/17 season and has demonstrated his strong ball-carrying ability.
Helping the Exiles secure promotion back to the Premiership at the first time of asking, the 23-year-old is currently recovering from an Achilles injury sustained against Sale Sharks earlier this season.
20-year-old Brophy-Clews has made 35 appearances for the Exiles since making his first team bow in 2015 and is highly regarded as one of the brightest young talents in the country. Scoring four tries during Saturday’s European Rugby Challenge Cup triumph over Krasny Yar, the Oxford born playmaker is closing in on 100 career points with Irish.
22-year-old Fowlie has made 14 appearances for the Exiles this term and underlined his credentials with a well taken try away to Newcastle Falcons in Round 5 of the Premiership.
