London Irish have bolstered their hooking options for next season with the signing of Tom Cruse from Rotherham.
The 26-year-old joined Rotherham from Sale two years ago and has been in impressive form in the Championship this season.
Cruse said: "I have thoroughly enjoyed my time at Rotherham and am grateful for the opportunities they have given me. The chance to sign for London Irish and play in the Aviva Premiership is something I have worked hard to achieve.
"There is a lot of excitement around London Irish at the moment and I'm looking forward to getting started when I join in the summer. Until then my sole focus is on leaving Rotherham Titans on a high."
London Irish Operations Director, Bob Casey said: "Tom has been an emerging talent in the Championship for a number of years so we are delighted that he has signed for us.
"He has a strong set piece and is dynamic around the park. He is ambitious, the right age and a player who wants to be part of London Irish's plans and we look forward to welcoming him in to the London Irish family in the summer."
Irish have already confirmed the signings of Ben Franks, Brendan McKibbin, Joe Trayfoot, Andy Goode, Dominic Waldouck, Sean Maitland, David Sisi and Matt Symons for next season.
