London Welsh have added Kingsley Jones to their managerial team as they prepare for life in the Aviva Premiership.

The position is as short-term assistant to head coach Lyn Jones while Welsh adapt to rugby in the top flight.

Kingsley Jones has Premiership experience with Sale and is currently in charge of the Russian national team.

"Kingsley will bring a huge amount of experience," said Lyn Jones.

The Exiles have also signed London Irish prop Paulica Ion on a season-long loan.
