London Irish sign Dawidiuk

London Irish have bolstered their front-row with the signing of hooker Darren Dawidiuk as preparations continue ahead of the 2017/18 Premiership season.

“Darren is a vastly experienced hooker and significantly augments our options in that department," said Director of Rugby Nick Kennedy.

“He has an excellent attitude and has fitted in very well with the rest of the squad. I’m delighted to welcome him to the club and I look forward to seeing what he can bring to the team.”

29-year-old Dawidiuk joins the Exiles from Gloucester Rugby having made 145 appearances for the Kingsholm outfit during which time he lifted the European Rugby Challenge Cup and Anglo-Welsh Cup.
