Ben Ransom commits to London Irish

London Irish's top try-scorer this season, Ben Ransom, is the latest player to have signed a new deal with the club.

The  25-year-old joined the Exiles from reigning Premiership Champions Saracens last summer having helped the north London club to three Premiership titles and a European Rugby Champions Cup.

 
He has scored nine times for London Irish so far this season and has represented England at every age group, helping the Under-20 side to a Six Nations Grand Slam in 2011.

 
While plying his trade at Saracens under the watchful eye of Brendan Venter, Ransom was initially dual registered with Championship side Bedford Blues. Helping the Blues reach the Championship play-off final in 2013, Ransom's knowledge of English rugby's second tier has been vital.

   
"I've really enjoyed working under the management structure headed up by Nick Kennedy,” said Ransom.
   
"London Irish is a huge club with lots of potential and I'm delighted to have extended my contract.
   
"It's important that we build on the platform that we've set ourselves and take each game at a time.”
