BREAKING: Tom Fowlie signs new deal

London Irish centre Tom Fowlie has extended his contract with the club.  

The academy graduate, 22, 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 Aviva Premiership.

Joining a number of London Irish players to have signed new deals in recent months, the former England age group international made his Aviva Premiership debut against Harlequins in 2014.

Developing into a quality centre, Fowlie is delighted to have penned fresh terms with his boyhood club.

“From the moment I joined London Irish’s academy, I have loved every minute of my time at the club,” said Fowlie, who was part of Irish’s promotion-winning team of last season.

“London Irish is an ambitious, forward thinking club and I’m thrilled to be part of Nick Kennedy’s set-up at Hazelwood.

“I’ve enjoyed a good amount of game time this season and I’m keen to keep working hard to cement my place in the starting XV.” 

Exiles boss Nick Kennedy, who has a proven track record of nurturing young talent through to the first team, said: “Tom has progressed through our academy system and has worked extremely hard during his time with us.

“His attitude is second to none and he’s getting better and better as a player.”

London Irish’s next home game will be against Wasps in the Anglo-Welsh Cup on Saturday 27 January. Under 13s tickets are just £1 throughout the stadium with adults from £15 from www.lidirect.co.uk or by calling 0118 968 1016 (Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm and Saturday 9am to noon).
