Trayfoot to join the Exiles

London Irish have added another new player to their squad for next season with Joe Trayfoot joining them from Harlequins.

Having come up through the academy at Quins, Trayfoot has now opted to start a new chapter in his Rugby career. The 23 year old blindside flanker who can also operate at openside will now look for more first team opportunities at the Madejski having struggled to get into the Quins starting XV this season.

Trayfoot said: "I am really looking to joining London Irish. I had a good conversation with the rugby committee and it is clearly a very ambitious set up heading in a really promising direction. The facilities are world class and I cannot wait to get started."

London Irish operations director Bob Casey also spoke about his delight in signing Trayfoot for next season: "Joe is one of the brightest young English talents. He is a top quality player with a great work rate who we feel can add real strength to our back row. He is an ambitious young player who wants to be part of our future."
