Connacht anxious to nail down Lam contract extension

Connacht are hopeful of tying down a deal which will keep Pat Lam in charge at the Sportsground for several years.

Lam’s contract finishes at the end of this season and while there is an option of a one year extension, Connacht are anxious to keep him on board for the next few years.

Chief executive Willie Ruane said: “Pat is doing a great job, as is all of his management team. They are working incredibly hard and they have created a really good working environment there for all the players where they are able to learn and improve on a daily basis.”
