David Sisi will rejoin former club London Irish on a season-long loan from Bath this summer . The 22-year-old London Irish academy graduate will return to the Madejski Stadium club for the entire campaign , in a bid for regular first-team rugby . Sisi joined Bath in the summer of 2013 when the Recreation Ground club completed an extensive raid on some of Irish 's prized assets . Bath back-rower David Sisi will rejoin London Irish on a season-long loan from next season . The Germany-born back-rower followed Jonathan Joseph , Anthony Watson and Matt Garvey in making the switch from Irish to Bath . Former London Irish coaches Toby Booth and Neal Hatley were able to entice that clutch of talent out along the M4 to Bath , and now Sisi is travelling the other way - in the short term , at least . ' I 'm excited to be returning to London Irish on loan next season , ' said Sisi . 'It will be great to go back to a club that has done so much for me in the past and I 'm looking forward to making the most of the opportunity over the season . 'All young players need consistent game time to help them improve and learn , and the back row is such a competitive position at Bath that this is a really good opportunity for me to get that time on the pitch . ' The German-born forward ( centre ) will return to his former club in a bid for regular first-team rugby . Full-back Tom Homer is the latest Irish player to make the Bath switch , joining head coach Mike Ford 's squad earlier this term . Former Irish prop Max Lahiff has also joined Bath this season , further swelling the Reading ex-pats in the west country . Sisi will return to Bath for the 2016-17 season , by which time the coaching staff hope he will be ready to challenge the likes of Francois Louw and Leroy Houston for starts in the back-row . 'Dave is a very talented young player , so we 're looking forward to seeing how he progresses with London Irish before coming back to us , ' said Bath boss Mike Ford . 'We want our young players to become the best players they can be , and this loan move gives Dave that chance . ' Sisi ( top ) joined Bath from Irish in the summer of 2013 - having graduated from the Exiles ' academy system . Junior World Championship winner Sisi blazed a trail through London Irish 's much-vaunted academy system , and operations director Bob Casey is delighted to welcome back the young talent . The Exiles are rebuilding under new ownership and more stable investment , with new coach Tom Coventry arriving to take the helm for next season . 'David joined London Irish at 16 and came through our AASE and academy programmes , ' said Casey . 'We are delighted he will be returning to the club next season . 'He is young , English and can play across the entire back row and is ambitious and excited about the challenge of returning to London Irish . '
