Canadian back row Phil Murphy will leave London Irish at the end of the season.

Murphy joined the Exiles from Perpignan in 2002 and is set for a return to the Continent after agreeing a move to an as yet unnamed club.

The 31-year-old has made 126 appearances for Irish to date, scoring 10 tries.

He said: "I'm looking forward to finishing the season on a high note and wish the club much success in the future."
