Ojo extends contract with London Irish

Club record try-scorer Topsy Ojo has extended his contract at London Irish.

The 31-year-old, who has notched up his 80th career try and 400th point for Irish, is the first of a series of players to have penned new deals.

"Topsy's experience has been crucial for us throughout this season and I'm pleased he's committed his future to the club," said Exiles Director of Rugby Nick Kennedy.

"As well as his talents on the field, off the field he's been superb with the Academy players and younger members of the squad who have broken into the first team. He's a fantastic role model for everyone at the club to look up to, and I know he's desperate to finish the season on a high.”

A graduate of the club's successful Academy, Ojo made his debut against Wasps in October 2005 and has since gained iconic status among the Exiles.
