One-club man Ojo is hanging up the boots... but he isn't leaving Irish for good
By Online Editors
Fan favourite Topsy Ojo is to retire from professional rugby at the end of this season after 16 years with London Irish.
The popular winger, who this season made his 300th appearance for the Exiles against Yorkshire Carnegie, will make his farewell home appearance at the Madejski Stadium this weekend against Ealing Trailfinders.
The club’s all-time record appearance maker is also the London Irish record try-scorer with 80 tries to his name in all competitions.
“It has been a privilege to play for this club since 2003 and I’m grateful that I’ve been able to do so for so long” said Ojo.
“I’m very proud of the milestones and the records I’ve achieved that will hopefully stand for a long long, time. I am also delighted that the club is back in the now named Gallagher Premiership with a positive future on the horizon, and even though I won’t be on the pitch anymore, hopefully I can continue to make an impact off it.

Except for the 6N he has won nothing. No WC's, no Lions tours not anything. He is ranked even behind Eddie Jones, who has won a WC with SA and have a better victory rate than Gatland. Keep your so called "best coach" in the world. No one but Wales wants him. A very harsh Hell No comes to mind if anyone asks if they would want Gatland as head coach.
Guess the man is wearing blinders. Rob Howley is howling mad describing Gatland as the best. What a load of 💩
Go to commentsProbably partly true but we in fact have plenty of talent, we just get a kiwi coach to put our best team on the field. Just like Deans and just like Rennie. And he keeps changing the team so Australian players can't get settled. Just like Deans and just like Rennie
