Former Leinster hooker Brian Blaney has put pen to paper with London Irish for the forthcoming season.
Blaney, who was involved as a player and a strength and conditioning coach for Terenure last season, has revived his career with the move to Sunbury.
The 28-year-old made 71 appearances in the Leinster shirt before he was released by the province last summer and has also featured for Ireland A and Ireland Schools in his playing career.
Exiles’ latest signing spoke of his delight on the switch: “I am delighted to be joining such an exciting team as London Irish next season.
“The club has a great reputation in Ireland and I look forward to following in the footsteps of some of the great Irishmen who have played for the club.”
London Irish head coach Toby Booth commented: “We are very pleased that Brian will soon be a London Irish player.
“He is a very experienced and tenacious hooker who will complement our current squad perfectly.
“Competition for places is paramount in our squad to sustain levels of performance and Brian will continue our strength and competitiveness in the hooker position.â€
