London Irish plan to return under a fan ownership model, whereby supporters will have the opportunity to own a stake in the club.
In the statement, the current owners The Jordan Group described themselves as “custodians” of the club.
As well as establishing the women’s team and academy, the owners said their core ambitions included securing a league for the club to play in, establishing a home stadium in west London and finding sponsors.
“Once these critical building blocks are in place, we will hand over the reins to a best-in-class team to ensure the club is led by those with the expertise to take London Irish to the next level,” the statement said.
“Our mission is to rebuild the club with strength and stability before transitioning to long-term management.”
Irish were ground-sharing with Brentford at the Gtech Community Stadium at the time of their collapse.
