Former England international back Olly Barkley has extended his contract with London Welsh.

The 33-year-old joined the Exiles last year after spells with Bath, Gloucester, Racing Metro, Grenoble and the Scarlets.

Welsh are set to return to the Championship next season after finishing bottom of the Aviva Premiership.

Barkley said: "It has not been an easy year, but I am committed to seeing my journey with London Welsh through.

"I am really looking forward to working with our new team and the reinvigorated coaching regime, which is being put together, to put this season behind us and lay a strong foundation for promotion back to the Premiership for the 2016-17 season."

Barkley won the last of his 23 Test caps against New Zealand in 2008.
