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.

Good on Clarke for taking on the criticism and addressing his deficiencies, principally his laziness.
Go to comments“It is the people’s favourite against the actual favourite. It is the people’s champions against the actual champions. I’m joking, but it’s going to be a fantastic series.” Why did Darcy make that joke knowing it would be used as click bait? Why did RP headline it as a serious comment? Anyway, the tired comment isn’t very astute. SA players may have played more games etc. Darcy over estimated as a pundit.
