LONDON IRISH

might find it difficult to keep hold of highly rated winger Alex Lewington when his contract runs out at the end of the season.

The electric winger, right, who has won England Saxons honours, is being tipped by many to make the step up into Eddie Jones’ senior squad in the near future.

Lewington scored ten tries in ten games in an injury-plagued campaign last year to help the Exiles win promotion back to the Premiership. It’s understood that Saracens are leading the race to sign the 26-year-old who started his career with Leicester Tigers.
