Nic Rouse pens London Irish contract extension

London Irish forward Nic Rouse has penned a new contract with the Aviva Premiership club.

The 33-year-old returned to action in December after missing the first half of the season through injury.

Rouse joined the Exiles from Nottingham Rugby in 2013.

"I am delighted to have committed my future to London Irish," he told the club's official website. "I am very proud to be a part of the club and there are exciting times ahead.

"The medical and strength and conditioning staff have been brilliant during my injury rehab and got me back in a great condition to be playing again."

London Irish are back in action on Friday night when they make the trip to Northampton Saints in the league.
