Lock forward Kieran Low has committed his future to London Irish for another two years.

Low has made 21 appearances for the club since joining in 2009, but injuries have limited his minutes on the field in recent seasons.

London Irish director of rugby Brian Smith stated: "Kieran Low is one of the most naturally gifted players I've worked with. He's a big fella with excellent skills and plenty of desire.

"Kieran is developing his set piece play very well under Glenn Delaney and it won't be long before he commands a starting spot in our back five.

"If he keeps his feet on the ground and continues to work hard, I have no doubt that he'll play for England. He's a terrific player and more importantly a passionate London Irishman. I'm delighted he's extended his contract with us."

Low has represented England at youth level, but is yet to gain full recognition for his country.
