London Irish remain on course for a 2026 return despite the death of former Formula 1 team owner Eddie Jordan, his son says.
The Exiles were bought out of administrationby a consortium led by Jordan last month.
Jordan, who also worked as a TV pundit, died in Cape Town, South Africa, on Thursday 20 March, having had aggressive prostate cancer. He was 76.
"Our strategy remains firmly in place. We're on track to return to competitive rugby by September 2026 and nothing has changed in that pursuit," said interim London Irish chief executive officer Kyle Jordan, son of Eddie Jordan.
London Irish set out their plan to return under a fan ownership model in 2026 six days prior to Jordan's death.
The Jordan Group said their core aims were to secure a league for the club to compete in, as well as a home ground in west London, and to establish a women's team and academy, before handing over to fan ownership.
