London Irish: Aulika & Geraghty among contract extensions

Halani Aulika, Shane Geraghty, Darren Allinson and Tom Fowlie have all signed contract extensions with London Irish.

Tonga prop Aulika, 30, has signed a three-year deal to run until 2016-17 despite being ruled out until March with an Achilles tendon injury.

He scored 11 tries last season and was named players' player of the year.

England stand-off Geraghty, 27, and Welsh scrum-half Allinson, 26, have also signed for three more years, with Fowlie, 18, agreeing a two-year deal.

The quartet follow George Skivington, Ian Humphreys, David Paice, Jon Fisher and Topsy Ojo in signing new contracts.

London Irish director of rugby Brian Smith said: "It's a great way to start the new year and extremely positive news for the club and our supporters.

"It has been an exciting period for the club off the field and the players are excited by where we want to go on the field."
