The younger of the Easterby brothers by four years, Simon was also schooled at Ampleforth College after being born in Harrogate.
He made his Irish Exiles debut in 1995 before moving to Australia for a year to play for Sydney University.
On his return, he played for Ireland Under-21s before making his senior debut against Scotland in February 2000. A solid, reliable flanker, Easterby is unlikely to be a starter at the outset but is a capable back-up.
