Canadian blindside flanker Jebb Sinclair signed a one year contract with London Irish this year.

Sinclair joins the Exiles on the back of a superb Churchill Cup campaign where he was an outstanding performer for Canada.

Standing 6'4' and weighing over 16 and a half stone, Sinclair will bring a huge physical presence to the London Irish pack. He started at blindside flanker in all three of Canada's Churchill Cup games, putting in an impressive performance against England Saxons in the final.

Sinclair is defensively very solid and produced one of the best defensive moments of the Churchill Cup when he chased down Russian Vasily Artemyev to make a try saving tackle when the winger looked certain to score.

The 25 year-old joins London Irish from Canadian side, Atlantic Rock. Sinclair will meet up with his new London Irish team mates after the completion of the Rugby World Cup in New Zealand.
