ANDY Short has joined Premiership outfit London Irish on loan from Bristol until the end of the season.

Short has been frozen out by Bristol after deciding to re-join Worcester Warriors next term.

The 23-year-old utility back has represented England at U20 level and came through the AASE ranks at his hometown club Worcester Warriors. 

London Irish head coach Glenn Delaney said: ''The opportunity came up for us to bring Andy in for the rest of the season and it is a good fit for all involved. Andy will suit our style of play and be an asset to the group for the remainder of the season.”
