Ian Keatley leaves Munster to join London Irish with immediate effect

"I know I’m from Dublin, but I’ve lived here for the last eight years, and with my fiancée Lisa and daughter Beth born here, I know we will be back again. I’m from Munster and I’m a Limerick man now, and it holds a special place in my heart."

Ian Keatley has left Munster to join London Irish on a short-term contract.

It was confirmed two weeks ago that Keatley would join Benetton Treviso at the end of the season, but he will now leave Munster with immediate effect in the interim period.
