Stokes signs for Irish until summer

FULL-BACK James Stokes has agreed to rejoin London Irish on a deal until the end of the season.

Stokes, 29, who can also play on the wing, made 11 appearances for the Exiles last season after joining on a short-term deal from Coventry. He returns to the club following a stint playing in the World Tens Series in Bermuda for Miami Sun.

Stokes started four times in the Premiership and twice in the European Challenge Cup last season.
