London Irish have announced that flanker Declan Danaher, prop Faan Rautenbach and lock Kieran Roche have signed new contracts.

Danaher, 28, the club's longest-serving player with 193 appearances, and Roche, 29, have signed three-year deals.

Former Springbok prop Rautenbach, 32, who joined the Exiles in 2005, has agreed a two-year contract.

"It is vital to our progress that key individuals stay at the club," said London Irish head coach Toby Booth.

"Our improvement in recent seasons has been built on a number of solid player platforms in the team," he added.

"The re-signing of Faan, Kieran and Declan is an integral part of maintaining those platforms. I'm looking forward to continuing to work with them in the seasons to come."
