Joe Cokanasiga signs four-year deal with London Irish

London Irish wing Joe Cokanasiga has committed his long-term future to the club by signing a new four-year deal.

Cokanasiga scored five tries in 12 appearances last season including a sensational solo effort on his debut against London Scottish.

“Joe is a fantastic prospect for London Irish who leads the way with his work rate both on and off the pitch," commented Exiles’ boss Nick Kennedy.

“As a club, we’re delighted that Joe wants to be part of London Irish’s long-term future and his decision to re-sign is a massive boost for the club as we continue to create a pathway for our brightest talents.”

Cokanasiga joined the Exiles’ academy set-up aged 16 and has progressed through the ranks under the guidance of Nick Kennedy.

The 19-year-old was named in Eddie Jones’ England squad for the summer tour to Argentina after helping the Exiles make an immediate return to the Premiership.
