London Irish have been buoyed by news that Richard Thorpe has agreed a two-year contract to remain at the club. The back-row has gone on to make 110 appearances for the Exiles since progressing through the academy set-up. And the former England Under-21s international is delighted to have signed the new deal. Thorpe said: "I have thoroughly enjoyed life at London Irish and it is a pleasure to come to work every day. "The club has been fantastic to me over the last decade and I am now looking forward to another enjoyable two years ahead." Irish coach Toby Booth has hailed the impact Thorpe has had on the club. "Richard is a highly committed London Irish player who gives his all for the shirt whenever he wears it. I have coached Richard since he first started at the club and the one thing I can never fault is his effort and commitment. "We are building a squad at Sunbury who will challenge for silverware next season and Richard will play a big part in this."
