Sky Bet

London Irish winger Marland Yarde has signed a new two-year contract with the club.

Yarde was a member of the England U20 squad last year and has made three appearances for the Exiles this season.

"I joined the club from school and have been very pleased with how I have performed on the field," he said.

"I look forward to pushing on now at London Irish over the next few seasons.

Number eight David Sisi has also agreed a new one-year extension after making seven appearances, scoring his first try in the LV= Cup earlier in the season.

"I owe a lot to London Irish and I'm thrilled to be here for another two seasons, " said the 18-year-old.

Head coach Toby Booth added: "Both players are talented Academy youngsters who we think have very promising futures.

"Marland is a natural finisher and has all the attributes to be a great player. David is a very physical player who has made a good impact when required this season."
