Young flyer gives up England duty for Top 14 contract

NEWS: England wing Henry Arundell has signed a two-year extension to his contract at French Top 14 club Racing 92, meaning he cannot play at the Six Nations next year.

Arundell, 21, joined Paris-based Racing after the bankruptcy of London Irish and scored three tries against Toulon on his debut appearance.

“He joined our squad just a few weeks ago but has already demonstrated all these qualities of a great competitor and great maturity,” Racing President Laurent Travers said.

“He fits perfectly into the club’s short and medium-term objectives and we are convinced that he will be one of the driving forces to achieve them.”

Arundell scored a joint England record of five tries on his World Cup debut against Chile in September.
