Samoan Exile staying in London

Big Samoan loose forward Ofisa Treviranus has signed a contract extension with London Irish that will keep him at the Premiership club until 2014.

The 27-year-old, who has played 22 tests for Samoa joined the Exiles in November 2011 and then returned home to Samoa for the birth of his son. He has now returned full-time to the London Irish squad and came on against Leicester Tigers last Sunday.

He said: “I have really been enjoying my rugby and my time at the club so far. I like the style of play and feel that I am making fantastic strides in my development as a player. It’s great to be back.”

London Irish head coach, Toby Booth said: “I have been impressed with the way Ofisa has fitted into the squad and with his performances. He brings a hugely physical approach every time he takes the field and is a natural ball winner on the floor.”

Treviranus is one of a number of senior international players to sign on at London Irish with Ireland’s Tomás O’Leary, Scotland’s Scott Lawson and England Saxon George Skivington all joining the Exiles in the summer.
