Bower, 30, joins following spells with Leicester Tigers and Worcester Warriors, the latter for whom he made just over 100 appearances between 2014-2020.
Exiles’ Director of Rugby, Declan Kidney said: “We’re pleased to welcome both Jamie and Ryan to London Irish.
“With Facundo (Gigena) called into the Argentina squad and Luke (Green) and Tarek (Haffar) only just returning to pre-season training after their exploits with England Under-20’s, we’re a little bit light numbers-wise at prop, so to be able to add both players to the squad for the next few months will strengthen our options, both on match days and on a daily basis at Hazelwood.”
