Trimble signs three-year Ulster deal

ULSTER RUGBY announced yesterday that Andrew Trimble has agreed a new three-year contract with the club which will keep him at Ravenhill until June 2009.

The 21-year-old made his Ulster competitive debut against Cardiff, at the beginning of the season, and has been ever-present in the line-up since then - making his Irish international debut in November against Australia.

A former pupil of Coleraine Institute, Trimble, who is studying Theology at Bible College, in Belfast, has come through the Ulster and Irish Schools, Under 21 and Academy systems. The three-year-deal is a great boost for the club that has nurtured his exciting talent.
