Exiles tie down talented duo

London Irish have secured the futures of rising stars Alex Corbisiero and Tom Homer after the pair agreed to new contracts at Madejski Stadium.

The duo, who came through the club’s academy, have both signed two-year contract extensions.

England Saxons prop Corbisiero, who was born in New York, has scored four tries in 50 games.

Homer, who has been capped by England U20s, has proved his versatility by playing for Irish on the wing, full-back and in the centres.

And Exiles head coach Toby Booth believes the duo have big futures at the Premiership club.

“Alex and Tom have had a major impact both in the Premiership and international rugby since they graduated from our academy to the senior squad,” said Booth, speaking to their website.

“We’re delighted that they have extended their contracts as they will have key roles to play in realising the ambitions of this club.”
