Conor Gilsenan signs a contract extension with London Irish

London Irish have confirmed that flanker Conor Gilsenan has signed a contract extension with the club ahead of the season run-in.

 
A product of Leinster's Academy, Gilsenan was part of the 'A' side that lifted the British and Irish Cup in 2013 and 2014 prior to his move to England.

 
The 24-year-old has made 34 appearances for the Exiles and has represented Ireland at age group level including an outing at the Under-20 World Cup.

 
"London Irish is a club that is clearly heading in the right direction and I want to be a part of the exciting plans that are taking shape,” said Gilsenan, 24.
 
"From day one the club has been very welcoming and it has been like my second family, which has made it a no-brainer to re-sign.
 
"The environment that has been created at London Irish is what every player wants to be involved in, and I'm really looking forward to the challenge that lies ahead.”
