London Irish sign Matt Rogerson from Jersey Reds

London Irish have strengthened their back-row options with the signing of Matt Rogerson from Jersey Reds for the 2018/19 campaign. 

Rogerson, 24, played 22 times for the Channel Islanders last term, helping them to cement their place in the top six of the Championship. 

“Matt will be a solid addition to the pack and we look forward to welcoming him to the club in the summer,” commented Declan Kidney, the Exiles’ technical consultant.

The back-rower, who is adept at either blindside flanker or No. 8, joined Sale Sharks in 2015 after graduating from Loughborough University where he made more than 50 National League 1 appearances. After two seasons with Sale, Rogerson joined Jersey and after a string of impressive displays this year, the Lancaster-born forward has earned himself a move to Irish.
