Advice urgently needed Re backpacker insurance renewal

New to this so hopefully correct area. Is it possible to get new backpacker insurance during a trip?
My son went on a trip backpacking in September 2016, he was due to return to UK on 23rd December. He decided to extend his trip to end July 2017. He forgot to inform his travel insurance company (AA). He has been told it isn't possible to extend as lapsed policy and a new policy can only be issued if it starts and finishes in the UK.
Advice gratefully received

You can take out a new policy through a specialist insurer such as World Nomads.0

Lonely Planet say on their website that you can get insurance through them after the journey has started.

I used World Nomads a few years ago, cost a fortune but was the cheapest I could find after much research in the same situation.Save £12k in 2019 #360

I was in this situation within the last year... I found just two options: World Nomads and True Traveller. The latter was rather less expensive.0
