The 24-year-old made his debut against Leicester in 2004/05 and has scored 37 tries and 247 points for Irish.

He told BBC Radio Berkshire he wants to go on and break Justin Bishop's all-time record of 280 appearances.

He said: "I'm happy at London Irish and don't see myself playing anywhere else. So I'm hoping to beat that record, if I can stay fit until then."

Interview: London Irish player Delon Armitage

"I've been at this club straight out of school, so I don't know anything else. To play 100 games for the club is a big thing for me."

The team's moved forward, we're not fighting relegation, we're fighting to be in the top four London Irish winger Delon Armitage

The 24-year-old England Saxons player admitted that the club has changed since he joined the academy.

"When I got here, London Irish were fighting relegation. Since then it's moved on a lot. It's a whole new squad - there's only about five players who've survived.

"The team's moved forward, we're not fighting relegation, we're fighting to be in the top four."

Of all his appearances, Armitage picked out his first as the one that he cherishes most.

"If I had to pick a game it would probably be my first game for Irish, against Leicester at home. That game has stuck in my head ever since, especially getting smashed by Freddie Tuilagi.

"The first time I put on the shirt...it was a bit baggy for me, but I don't think I'll ever play a bigger game for the club."
