Jerry Sexton secures permanent contract

The forward has signed for London Irish as the club continues to strengthen its squad ahead of the 2016-17 campaign.

The 23-year-old joined Irish on loan from Exeter Chiefs in February and has now made his move permanent.

Glenn Delaney, Head of Rugby Operations said: “Jerry bolsters our options in the pack and is a solid acquisition ahead of the new season."

Capped by Ireland Under-20s, Sexton is a product of Leinster’s Academy and spent two seasons with Exeter prior to his move to Irish.
