DAVID Sisi is to join former club London Irish on a season long loan from Bath Rugby for the 2015-16 campaign.

The move will allow the young back-row ace some all-important game time and experience to help him continue his development as a player.

Sisi recently signed a contract extension at The Rec and will return to Bath for the 2016-17 season.

Sisi said: “All young players need consistent game time to help them improve and learn, and the back-row is such a competitive position at Bath that this is a really good opportunity for me to get that time on the pitch.”

Bath head coach Mike Ford added: “Dave is a very talented young player, so we’re looking forward to seeing how he progresses with London Irish before coming back to us.

“We want our young players to become the best players they can be, and this loan move gives Dave that chance.”
