Canada international Ciaran Hearn has signed a two-year contract extension with Championship leaders London Irish.
The versatile back, who can play at centre or on the wing, has made 23 appearances for the Exiles since joining the club in 2015.
"London Irish is a club with big ambitions and are building for the future which excites me," said Hearn, who turns 31 on Friday.
"There is a good feeling within the camp at present and we will be hoping to end 2016 on a high with victory over Bedford Blues on Saturday."
Irish director of rugby Nick Kennedy said: "Ciaran has all the qualities that we want at London Irish and I'm very pleased that he has extended his stay with the club.

"Being relentless is one of the three values that this proud club stands for and Ciaran fits into this mould perfectly.
"His experience will be vital as we enter the latter stages of the campaign and I'm looking forward to seeing more from him in the coming weeks."
London Irish have won a club record 16 games in a row this season and sit seven points clear of second-placed Yorkshire Carnegie in the Championship.
