London Irish: Ben Ransom, Lovejoy Chawatama & Josh McNally sign new deals

Ben Ransom is a former England Under-20 international

Full-back Ben Ransom is among three more players to sign new contracts with Championship leaders London Irish.

Prop Lovejoy Chawatama and back row Josh McNally have followed Topsy Ojo, Brendan McKibbin and Greig Tonks in committing their futures.

Ransom, 25, joined the Exiles from Premiership champions Saracens in May and has scored nine tries this season.

Former London Welsh pair Chawatama, 24, and McNally, 26, both joined on initial short-term deals earlier this term.

Irish have only lost once in the league this season and lead the Championship by 17 points as they look for an immediate return to the top flight after relegation in 2015-16.
