London Irish and England sensation Henry Arundell’s rumoured move to Racing 92 is now complete according to reporting in French publication L’Equipe.
L’Equipe have confirmed that the 20-year-old has signed with the Parisian side despite reports linking him to Premiership outfit Bristol.
His signature would join a host of other former London Irish players such as Tarek Haffar, Tom Pearson and Chunya Munga in having already secured their futures ahead of next season.
His move to the Top 14 would make him ineligible under the current England selection policies for next season.
Yet, with other stars such as Joe Marchant, Jack Nowell and Sam Simmonds already confirmed as heading to France next season, it throws into question how long the policy will remain in place.
Other star players rumoured to be leaving English shores are Harlequins flyhalf Marcus Smith and Saracens secondrow Maro Itoje.
The latest London Irish star to find a new home.
By all accounts, Arundell to Racing 92 is now done despite reports linking him to Bristol.#Rugby #londonirish #Racing92 #rugbytransfers https://t.co/ZHtn7aYh6G
