Prop extends stay at London club
Prop Clarke Dermody has penned a new two-year deal with London Irish which will keep him at the Madejski Stadium until June 2012.
The Exiles are no doubt boosted by the signing as they prepare for their Heineken Cup showdown against defending champions Leinster at Twickenham on Saturday.
Former All Black Dermody, who joined the Guinness Premiership club from Super 14 outfit the Highlanders in 2007, has helped Irish challenge for domestic and European honours.
Thrilled
The 29-year-old revealed he is thrilled to commit his future to the club. "London Irish has lived up to my expectations since I arrived in October 2007," said Dermody.
"I've enjoyed being part of a talented and ambitious squad that is committed to playing attractive rugby, and one that can and will win silverware soon."
Irish head coach Toby Booth added: "Clarke has established himself as one of the best loose head props in the Guinness Premiership.
"His ability as an outstanding front row exponent and as a leader is fundamental to the success of London Irish going forward.
"We're delighted that he has re-signed for another two seasons."
